I don't run this site as a profession; I do it as a hobby (one which my soon-to-be wife claims is more of an obsession.) Suffice it to say, I don't have the access to animation libraries and archives that others do, and if this website is a success it's been by "standing on the shoulders of giants" so to speak. So, I give you this bibliography of resources that I've used in compiling this site and invite the reader to consult them for further reading. All titles are hyperlinked for ordering at Amazon.com.
