For fans of the film, this book is a must have. Its pages are filled with concept drawings, sketchs, and lush paintings from the illustrators who worked on the film, as well as many screen stills from the movie. Also included are short interviews with many of the key animators, which give the reader an in depth guide to how the characters and design features were created. The final pages of the book contain the screenplay written by Miyazaki, translated into English, which shows readers the depth of Miyazaki's involvement in the project as well as provides a handy aid if comparing the film to the original novel by Diana Wynne Jones
