Digest of the Final Yamato film.
This book is of the same format as the Roman Albums. It has a really fabulous section called Desslok's Story (part 2), as well as Deslar and his Planet which is the only of two books I have seen that devote as much space (if not more) 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 #2. Well worth the price if you can find it, though.
