  1. Is it legally okay for me to have this and share with friends or students? Cause I don’t wanna be a thief. I mean as an animator who worked over 30 years to make this book it would a crying shame to just take it.

    • I’ve found it surfing the web, I really don’t know about the copyrights of this, I’m just sharing. But the book is old, so maybe is okey for you to take it. Or maybe just ask on a bookstore and buy it?

  7. This post made me laugh and shake my head.Someone pointed out the bad grammar on my blog. Why do people care about grammar and punctuation on a blog? They come to my hogul(beos)and complain about grammar. I’m not fixing it. I like my life and my blog.
