Living Life Inside the Lines: Tales from the Golden Age of Animation Paperback – Illustrated, 15 May 2013

The Author, Martha Sigall, worked in many of the Hollywood animations studios and gives her personal recollections from the inside. The book is a name drop if ever there was one as she was friendly with the many staff and the animation greats: Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Bill Hannah and Joe Barbera, Friz Freleng, Frank Tashlin and Michael Maltese among many others. She worked on Looney Tunes at Leon Schlesinger's studio, inking those well loved characters.She gives a background on the hijinks in the many studios for whom she worked. I have marked it 3 stars as the illustrations/photographs are reproduced in grey shades and are weak as a result. These tend to be of groups of her and her colleagues, posters for events and the like, not the characters. It is, however, a fascinating read for animation buffs.It
