[crowzilla]

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.

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]

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.

I hope they are flying off the shelves!
