The Animator's Survival Kit

This is the classic textbook for animation. Every page is loaded with illustrated examples. It's more of an intermediate guide because the book goes straight quickly into drawing.

I read on Amazon that it's supposed to come with a DVD but many reviewers there have reported missing DVDs.

Anyway, this book is also available as a 16-DVD set, selling for over USD $900! Below's the promo video for the disc set:
