This is starting to get some notice elsewhere, so thought I would mention it here:

Sean Linkenback (Unauthorized Guide to Godzilla Collectibles) has a new hardcover book, The Art of Japanese Monsters: Godzilla, Gamera and Science Fiction Film Art From Around the World, coming this May. A complete reference guide to Japanese science fiction film posters from 1954 to present, the book will feature over 650 posters and lobby cards from 20 different countries.

Less than one month until street date, so I thought I would share some inside page images with you guys:

Looks Great, Sean.

Congrats, again, on the entire project coming together.

I would mention how great this book looks, but everyone will say "Richie is Sean's friend and he's just trying to pimp Sean's book"

so instead I have to say "folks you may think I'm pimping Sean's book but that damn thing is going to be so effing cool with so many great images that I can't wait to get one myself!!!"

CSM · « **Reply #21 on:** April 19, 2014, 10:56:35 AM »

Not my collecting niche, but this sure looks impressive. Congrats Sean - I am sure it was a labour of love...

Ordered my leather bound version yesterday. Invoice was #90, so there's probably less than 10 left.

T minus 14 days til launch.

Sean, how has the reception been on your new book?

I hope they are flying off the shelves!
