Muy buen libro, un agasajo el leerlo.
El libro llegó rápido, y en buen estado. Es un buen libro donde se comenta los detalles de las películas de Hayao miyasaki desde el punto de vista de alguien que estuvo cerca en diferentes etapas. El libro viene en inglés.

Thought-Provoking Read, But Slight Concern About Book Condition
The delivery from Amazon was prompt and well-packaged, as expected. No complaints on that front. As for the book itself — Starting Point is a gem for anyone interested in storytelling, animation, and the creative mind of Hayao Miyazaki. His thoughts are honest, deep, and incredibly inspiring. A must-read for artists and dreamers alike. Truly admire the writer's ability to articulate such layered philosophy in such a grounded way. However, I did notice a few signs that made the book feel slightly used — faint creases and minor wear on the cover. While it doesn’t affect the content, I just expected a more pristine condition for a new purchase. Overall, still a fantastic buy for the wisdom inside. Worth it for Miyazaki fans and creatives.

I love this book
I love this book! It's a fantastic read by a brilliant mind. This is not a novel but instead a collection of thoughts and essays compiled by Miyazaki, placed in chronological order. Having the book set up as a compilation makes it a great read before bed or something you are just looking to pick up once in a while. Of course you can read it all at once! but I feel that allowing each passage to sink in really helps to deliver the full effect.
