From what I can see from the "Look Inside!" feature on Amazon, it is indeed the same content in the same size--except that the original was 40 pages long, and the new one is only 32, so 8 pages have been deleted. The current owners of the Walter Foster line have done a lot of editing of this sort, which is why I don't recommend them.Jim Bradrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497180922922976943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267701062003803614.post-10937301283376342802016-08-01T09:43:02.106-07:002016-08-01T09:43:02.106-07:00Technically they do sell this first book in a revi...Technically they do sell this first book in a revised version at most art/craft stores. I suppose these days it could be tricky tracking this one down if it's not sold with the other Walter Foster paperbacks often.<br />https://www.amazon.com/Animation-Learn-Animate-Cartoons-Cartooning/dp/0929261518/Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.com
