Has anyone come across the book for Princess Mononoke? Miyazaki made this amazing film into a book to begin with then into a film. It is advertised as being available in the sleeve to the Nausicaa manga, which is in English which suggests that maybe it's been translated but I can't find any trace of it!

You mean the "Beauty and the Beast" version with the Totoro-prototype? Those are watercolor storyboards he made in 1980 for a film called "Mononoke Hime" which was never approved to be produced. The storyboards were nevertheless published; here's a link to download them: http://www.buta-connection.net/mangas/pm/pm.zip
