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

I hope they are flying off the shelves!

 cheers

Quite well so far thanks. Amazon is showing it out of stock right now (no doubt while they finish processing pre-orders and should be available again in a day or two), but the orders have remained strong.

Have a Facebook page for the book, with some pics showing the actors with it and signing the prints for the limited edition version, and some happy purchasers have left feedback also: https://www.facebook.com/KaijuPostersDatabase

Just a quick follow-up about sales:

Out of the 1,000 hardcovers, I have less than 20 left (hopefully none after the MonsteramaCon this weekend).

The 100-copy limited edition leatherbound with the print autographed by Godzilla actors Akira Takarada and Haruo Nakajima is long sold-out, and one sold last night on ebay for over $650.00.

If anyone would like a copy of the hardcover, please let me know.
Thanks

I'm late to the game, though finally got a hardcover of Sean's Art of Japanese Monsters. Guess what?   It's still awesome!!!  Sean, how is it possible we did not know each other when we both lived in ATL?  Did you ever come to the original comic art exhibits we hosted at DragonCon (Benno, Dave and Richard still host them since I moved away)? We started the exhibits getting close to 20 years ago, including a pretty cool Wally Wood exhibit of originals back then as well as a Marvel exhibit when Stan Lee visited.  Okie

I don't know how it's possible. Did you ever come to either of our stores in Atlanta when you lived here? Showcase Comics?
We always had the best selection of GA/SA in the city (and hosted a few artist signings as well including the late Marshall Rogers and Joe Linsner).  We had a booth at DragonCon for many years, which didn't allow me time to do many other events at the show unfortunately.

Thank you for the kind words about the book. Glad you were able to grab the HC, and hope you will forgive the few errors that are inside.

Yes, I believe I did go into one of your shops a couple of times.  Sacrilege, though, I wasn't seriously collecting comics anymore by that time. I was in ATL from 1998 to early 2005.  I've largely only been actively collecting original art and movie posters for the last 30 years or so. Comic book collecting for me was mainly before that. I do buy the odd comic book rarely if the price is just too good to pass up.  Anyway, your book is fantastic, Sean.  Okie
