Clements, Jonathan
Schoolgirl Milky Crisis: Adventures in the Anime and Manga Trade
London: Titan Books, 2009
I was jazzed when the Cartoon Art Museum store got this one in. I spotted a box that the manager had yet to open, and knowing the book was on the way got her to process the order.
I buy damn near anything Clements publishes, the only thing I don't have is his book on the Empress Wu.
This is a fat (393 p + index) collection of his essays.
I also walked out of the museum store with:
McCarthy, Helen
500 Essential Anime Movies: The Ultimate Guide
New York: Collins Design, 2008
An excellent book to show folks who are trying to decide what to watch next.
Richmond, Simon
The Rough Guide to Anime: Japan's finest from Ghibli to Gankutsuo
New York: Rough Guides, 2009
Looks like a good introduction to the industry and has entries on 50 select titles.
I also recommend his Rough Guide to Tokyo, one of the best travel books on the city available.

Good choices, Gilles! I love Steve Kyte's cartoons in Schoolgirl Milky Crisis. So did the A-Kon charity auction audience - the book raised $75 for the Dallas Family Shelter. (The original Kyte cartoon inside the front cover probably influenced the bidding.)
