New York/Toronto/London: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc.. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. (c.1958). First Edition. Hardcover. [a nice clean copy with just a bit of shelfwear (a review copy, with the original publisher's slip laid in); the jacket is modestly edgeworn, with some very slight paper loss at the extremities]. (cartoon drawings) Possibly the best how-to home-movie-making book ever published (prove me wrong!), and one that ought to be forced upon every modern-day maker of those (mostly) cinematically-execrable TikTok videos. The author, who started his career at Walter Lantz Productions in 1932, went on to work for Walt Disney Productions and other animation companies, including Columbia, M-G-M, and UPA. He returned to Disney for a brief stint in the mid-1950s, where he animated the wonderful “We Are Siamese, If You Please” sequence in LADY AND THE TRAMP. Following the publication of this book, he continued to do memorable work in the animation field, including the "2,000-Year-Old-Man" TV special (1975). And speaking of home movies: in the 1980s he achieved the remarkable feat of filming his own heart attack-in-progress. (He survived.) .
