Amazon.com Review
GIF animation is easy, doesn't rely on special software, doesn't require unique server configurations, and is relatively bandwidth-friendly. This book, with its color pages and remarkably simple text, provides everything you need to know to create interesting GIF animation for both Windows and Mac. Special case studies of Voyager Company, Pepsi, Ben & Jerry's and others provide many "Aha! That's how they did that!" moments. Includes a CD with fully functional versions of GIF Builder, GIF Construction Set and WebPainter, plus demos of other software and the actual files of animations covered in the book.

This book details the major GIF animation programs, profiles work by leading designers (including John Hersey, Razorfish, Henrik Drescher, and Erik Josowitz), and documents advanced animation techniques. A CD-ROM includes freeware and shareware authoring programs, demo versions of commercial software, and the actual animation files described in the book.
