Title : This is Animation: The Select #2 -- Space Cruiser Yamato Pub/Date : Shogakukan/1982 Pages : 126 (including covers and jacket) Price : 780 ¥
Glossy colour cine digest; colour stills; rough and final designs for characters, mechanics, and scenes; production drawings; staff and cast interviews.
Digest of the whole Yamato/Star Blazers saga up until Final Yamato. And, although it does not cover that film in digest form, it does have character sheets for Final Yamato.
This book is of the same format as the Roman Albums. It has a really fabulous section called "Desslok's Story" (part 1) which is the only of two books I have seen that devote as much space to Desslok as to the Star Force. As far as I know, this book is out of print, as is its companion, This is Animation: The Select #4. Well worth the price if you can find it, though.
