I have been searching for this book since I was a child; I ran across an early version in a library about 15 years ago, and just this last week did I find this, most recent (2nd) edition, copyrighted 1999.
This book attempts to list and describe every animated theatrical short, theatrical feature, television special, and television series that has been shown in America. It does an amazing job- much more thorough than any other source I have seen. It contains listings of Japanese series not mentioned in "complete" anime guides; many of the listings are not acknowledged on IMDB. Hell, it lists Jot (the Dot), an animated religious show that only I seem to remember. It covers cable series, silent b/w shorts, everything... but it still doesn't go far enough.
On first perusal, I noted several missing features. For a book copyrighted 1999, there should have been mention of A Bug's Life or Antz. Even if the book were from 1997 (the information does not seem to go beyond this), where are the listings for Ghost in the Shell and Urotsukidoji (both of which had somewhat successful art-circuit theatrical runs)? Even odder, the book does not have a listing for Disney's WW2-era animated feature "Victory Through Air Power", but it's mentioned in the appendix covering Oscar nominations. It's missing Robotech the Movie (limited run), too...
Besides the missing entries, the one section the book desperately needs (in an update or companion book) is a listing to all of the straight-to-video animation that has been available over the years. There has been a deluge of anime, plus many American efforts (including many Bluth, Amblin, and Disney works), and many smaller unknown works that should be documented somewhere... (UAV's An Ant's Life: Bugs Bite, for example, an original 45 minute OAV marketed as an Antz/Bug's Life rip-off).
I have other complaints; slight inaccuracies in titles (It's Snoopy Come Home, not Snoopy Comes Home), a lack of information regarding home-video availability, and smaller/absent text pieces describing each work. Also nice would be opinion of some sort- on the quality of the animation, story, character design, etc. Some sort of non-objective review... after all, the author *is* well-versed in animation history, and his opinions would benefit those of us wanting to study animation seriously.
Despite my negative comments, though... this is an incredible book. It joins a lofty, small pantheon of indispensable pop-culture reference books; the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies Guide, Total Television and the Prime Time TV Show guides, the various Videohound guides, and the various anime reference guides. My complaints are only due to the fact that such a great book needs to be polished to perfection.

Since the earlier editions are out of print, I was overjoyed to hear that a new edition was coming out, only to discover that the new edition omits all the information on individual episodes that was the hallmark of the original edition in 1981. This new volume should have been renamed, cause it is no longer encyclopedic.

Not as useful as previous editions
I have a previous edition of this book, so I was excited to find this latest one. However, the book now consists of ONLY the name of the series, a brief paragraph about it, and... Lesen Sie weiter...
