This is an overpriced coffee-table book of small frame grabs of credit sequences, with a lazily translated text. The included DVD-ROM contains low-resolution QuickTime video files of some of the credit sequences; all of them are probably on YouTube or elsewhere online in higher resolution.
I bought my shrinkwrapped copy in an art museum store; if I had been able to look at the book beforehand, I wouldn't have bought it.
The text has got some real problems -- poor copy editing, not much said. The images are tiny. Almost worthless if you're at all interested in looking at the typography. Glad I took it out from the library.
Ufff, ¿qué les puedo decir? Me mamó completamente, leerlo y ver los títulos cuadro por cuadro, su razón y después de una conversación con un amigo y compañero de universidad, la tipografía no la puedo hacer a un lado, jamás. Recomendable, siempre.
