Lots of books have started to appear about anime and manga on the market. We highly recommend the following books. Frederik L. Schodt is the man when it comes to manga. Not only has he produced some of the best translations he has also written two fantastic books on the subject: Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics Frederik L. Schodt. Kodansha International 1983 (First paper back edition 1986) ISBN 0-87011-752-1 Dreamland Japan: Writings On Modern Manga Frederik L. Schodt. Stonebridge Press 1996 ISBN 1-880656-23-X Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy have been involved in many projects together. The Anime Encyclopedia is one of those must have references to Japanese Animation.
