The Art of "Howl's Moving Castle" (Art of Howl's Moving Castle) (Hardback) - Common Hardcover

It’s a great gift for my friend, the book was beautiful.

Love this book, so fun to look at and to have

A great gift for the Ghibli fans and artists in your life!

If you've purchased any of the other Studio Ghibli Library titles you know what to expect from this title, The Art of Howl's Moving Castle. It is hard back with no dust cover and 256 pages.The book is divided into the following chapters:Hayao Miyazaki's Concept Sketch CollectionConcept Art, Background Art, Character Designs and Concept SketchesFinal ScreenplayCreditsThe images are gorgeous, printing is beautiful and this is a real treat to look at. The colors are quite spectacular and they've done an excellent job with printing.Highly recommended.***Special Note***If you are fan of Studio Ghibli I HIGHLY recommend you seek out the book, Studio Ghibli Layout Designs published by Studio Ghibli (I think). The book is in Japanese, but it doesn't matter much as only the first 5 pages are in Japanese and the rest of the book is just pictures. It's over 400 pages and nothing but layout designs (as the title suggests) from all the Miyazaki films. Gorgeous.

The book came with little to no damage the packaging was decent. This book is top quality, maybe because I don’t own enough books, but the glossy pages with such precise detail are top-notch. I haven't read it yet but flipping through the pages makes gives me great satisfaction.

I bought this art book for my friend's birthday. She's pursuing a degree in Art (forget which field, it's either paint or animation) and LOVES Miyazaki films. I knew I was going to get her an art book centering one of his films, but not sure which one. So four or five months before her birthday, to avoid birthday present assumptions and guesses, I randomly asked what her favorite Miyazaki movie was. She said it was Howl's Moving Castle. Later that same day, searched Amazon and put it in my "Save for Later' section in my cart.When her birthday was a week away, I placed the order and waited it to come in. It arrived quickly and not a dent or scratch in sight. The book actually arrived two days before I needed it (the magic of using Prime shipping). So I had a checked to go through it, since I'm also a fan of the movie. It was a lot better than what I was expecting.I assumed it was just going to be filled with a lot of screen shots from the movie (don't get me wrong, it is 85% movie screen shots) with a little of concept art. In a few sections, various artist that worked on the movie explained how or why they did something a certain way. The two sections I found the most interesting was the CGI 1 and CGI 2 sections, both describing the use of CGI in the movie.Fast forward to when I gave this to my friend, and she absolutely LOVED it.

package was badly, but the book hasn’t any damage

Real beautiful book, if you are a real fan this is a must have.

Impresionante edicion, con todos,todos los pormenores y detalles de la realizacion de esta obra de arte..Incluso trae el script de la pelicula!!1000% Recomendable!!

ITS SO GOOD, IT IS SO PRETTY

Cercavo un'antologia delle opere di Miyazaki,che non ho trovato,e ho quindi ripiegato su questo libro. Scelta ottima, perché è davvero un capolavoro. Libro chiaramente da collezione, è in inglese,ma comprensibile anche per chi ne abbia solo un'infarinatura. Sono riportati i disegni originali,moltissimi fotogrammi dal film con relative sinossi e,alla fine,anche lo script. Davvero bello,da maneggiare e tenere con cura.

Libro muy bonito de ilustraciones del castillo ambulante. Aunque tiene sus años el que me llego esta en perfecto estado sin golpes, decoloración ni nada por el estilo. Simplemente genial.

Es ist ein wirklich sehr schönes Buch, die Bilder sind gross und schön gedruckt. Die Qualität ist spürbar. Aber leider hat es nicht so viele Skizzen und andere Bilder drin, die ich mir bei den Anderen Art Of Büchern von diesem Studio gewöhnt bin. Es hat sehr viele Bilder drin, die direkt aus dem Film stammen, und nur wenig die man so noch nicht gesehen hat. Davon hätte ich mir so gerne etwas mehr Hintergrund gewünscht.
