AWN recently launched of our newest resource site, the AWN Book Corner. Looking for books related to animation, then the Book Corner is the best place for you to visit. Readers can search through tomes dealing with 2D & 3D graphics, animation, applications, cinematography, digital video, entertainment, gaming, history & theory, post-production, programming & scripting and Web & multimedia. You can also browse books by title, author or publisher. For each book, we include numerous key facts, links to purchase the item and the publisher's contact information. In the coming weeks we'll be adding special lists of classic books, recommended "Top Ten" compilations as well as new book excerpts and reviews. For students, professionals, educators and fans, the AWN Book Corner is the first place you should go to find all the books you need on animation for work, school and fun.
