Design Books Galore

Illustrator Mark Frauenfelder's recent post on Boing Boing about the forthcoming Jim Flora book is a reminder of what a wonderful time it is for aficionados of mid-century cartooning and animation. In the past couple years, there have been books dedicated to the work of Flora, Gene Deitch and Mary Blair, and there's still more to come. I've heard that a Maurice Noble coffeetable book is in the pipeline, and I'm personally working on a comprehensive volume about Fifties animation design which will be published by Chronicle Books in 2006.
