The Studio Library
This page is intended to document the books and important bulletins in the studio library. It is incomplete and will be an ongoing project. The library is constantly evolving and expanding. As time allows blog posts will be added and linked to with some details about each book, as well as some of my thoughts. Whenever possible purchasing links will be included, however, many of these books are out of print (some are affiliate links). Basic categorization has been attempted, and some books will appear in multiple categories.Table of Contents
