Godzilla - Official Compendium

[B5Erik]

I've always enjoyed this book. While it isn't an in depth adult look at the Godzilla films it does have a lot of interesting information.

Like a lot of things Godzilla, it's now long out of print. As I am looking to finance a new guitar I've decided to let my copy go. I priced it way lower than most listings in this condition (like new) to give a real Godzilla fan a chance to get it at a less outrageous amount.

It still isn't cheap, but as I am trying to generate revenue for a guitar I thought that was a reasonable amount (especially since the other copies in excellent condition are going for well over $100 now).

Anyway, this isn't meant to be just a classified ad - let's discuss the book.

I like the illustrations and many of the pics are pretty cool. The movie by movie info is also pretty good. Sure, the book could have been better, but for what it is I think it was fairly well done. What do you think?

I like the Godzilla: Official Compendium as well. I got it when I was a kid, and it is still one of my favorite books in my library today. The essays later in the book are not bad, but my favorite part as a kid was the monster bios sections. I liked how they drew out every monster and converted their heights into feet. I even have a copy signed by JD Lees. Sadly, the years have taken their tole on it, and it is kind of worn out.

The copy on ebay is a lot less, and it's now got a, "Best Offer," option...

I like the book (a lot), but I need money to buy a guitar.

I own a copy too but I was a stupid kid that liked to write in books.

Shoulda put it in a Ziploc and never touched it.

I read and re-read mine several times. I've just always been really careful about how I handle books, even as a kid (not as much as later on, but I was fairly careful with them).

It's a great book for Godzilla fans - my daughter loves it, too.
