    "Caffeine for the Creative Mind" is perfect for those (like me) who get stuck in a rut from time to time. I'm actually working on some of these starting 12/1.

    Can't think of the authors off of the top of my head but
    Visualizing Muscles
    Setting Up Your Shots
    Perspective for Comic Book Artists

    That's where I got my copies but that was years ago so I'm not sure if they're still on there. If I don't get mine on Amazon I use Alibris.
