Review: The Recipient Adored This Book - I gave this book as a Christmas gift, and the recipient adored it. She is an animation student, so I knew I had to get it as soon as I stumbled upon it. I would recommend it to anyone that's a Ghibli fan or knows someone who is. It is sometimes text-heavy at times (it has the movie's whole screenplay included) but obviously still has more than enough images to be fun to look at. It is of a substantial weight and quality.
