I'm looking for some good general texts on animation techniques and 
methods. Can anyone forward a bibliography?

I am also interested in acquiring animation technique texts.  Please
forward the same info to me also.

Thanks

Better yet, how about posting recommendations here?  I'd certainly be interested
in learning about any new books or ones that have escaped me.  I know the new
Foley, van Dam, Feiner and Hughes has some treatment of animation, but I think
it's pretty cursory.  There's also a book on computer animation by a Canadian
couple named Magnenet-Thalman (or something like that).  I think there are also
a couple of books that are specifically PC oriented, but I'm not familiar with
those.

It seems to me that in a recent Videomaker magazine, there was a review of a
book for Amiga based graphics or animation that the review gave a 4 star
rating which equated to a "BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR LIBRARY!".  Take a look at
the recent issues of Videomaker.  I think Feb, or Jan. issue.
