studio ghibli storyboard books


went into forbidden planet (comic book store) in southampton the other day - where i spotted these in the corner at the sale section.

i haven't seen these before, they had four in total each at £29.99 - my neighbors the yamadas, little norse prince, only yesterday, and i forget the last one .. :/

 front cover 

rear - it was only when i saw the ghibli logo i realized and opened the box. 

  this is the actual book - the two above pictures are a hard box the book fits in.. 
the book is like this inside, start to finish storyboards of the movie all in original japanese. i also found that within each book there was little pieces of paper with notes scribbled down on them, book marks etc - which were really cool too! i assume they have books for all the ghibli movies?
i would of purchased one but they were a little too expensive for me at the time.. maybe next time! but they would make a great gift for a fan of the studio.

i found a short review of the ponyo book here which shows more of the books:
