I own an amazing coffee table book called the illusion of life. It essentially lays out the history and key techniques of cell animation. I haven't opened it for a few years now, but it still has pride of place within my design books.

- dagmx 5y agoIt's interesting hearing the Illusion of Life referred to as a coffee table book, since it's actually a learning resource and reference book for those in animation. I know it wasn't meant as a diminutive etc... It just caught my eye because it made me think what the delineation would be between a coffee table book and a reference book
- somishere 5y agoYes, interesting point. I worked in book stores for years and use the term coffee table book specifically for the format. I'd certainly use it interchangeably with a certain style of reference book.
