I looked through this book a while back, looking for inspiration in cartoon in new styles. I was disappointed...The format is sloppy and disruptive and does an awful task at actually teaching the mode. Too, it shows that the author had lilliputian noesis of anime and manga.

Definitely will Not recommend to anyone who wants to learn the style.
