Book arrived in perfect condition and fast. Book price is fair but shipping tax is a bit expensive for my country (Mexico). But I might return for another purchase soon.
The bookstore has a nice selection for artists for inspiration and reference. Here’s hoping they expand their selection in the future, I’d like to see more learning materials for anime and animation.
