I need some animations book recommendations ?

Question

What are some of the best books on animation that you would recommend ?

Answer 1

A friend once told me about this book:

"Timing for Animation"

by Harold Whitaker and John Halas

Some reviews:

This book is one of the best all round books used to learn animation techniques; a perfect text for teachers. Animation techniques are illuminated from squash and stretch, to stop action puppet, to cell painting. Included is a great reference section for finding unique materials and building your own animation stand. This is more than a simple how to do manual. It is a companion to any future artist animator for it opens the reader to the sophisticated path of animation as tool articulate movements rather than simply as a squash and stretch manipulator of cartoon characters".
