Some sections of this book I found to be quite neat to look through, but how difficult would it have been to include the ACTUAL Transformer toys themselves??? I know he has another book for that, but at the price paid for this book, it would have been nice to at least have reference photos of the vintage (80's) action figures along with all the other stuff (would've been 18-20 more pages maybe). Some of the sections in the book get monotonous (trying to get excited about collecting every book published about Transformers is a tough request), and I found myself thinking "who cares?" more than once. Overall, I think this is maybe a $19.95 book, but not more than that as I've purchased many many more collector oriented books that were better AND cheaper than this one.

I'm happy to be the first to say that Alvarez strikes again! This is a great book. It has so much history you wouldn't believe your eyes. Alvarez has keen eye for american history and this serves the world of transformers perfectly.

I have never been in love with a book more than with J.E. Alvarez's Epic of Transformery love. How two intimate robots could come together and love each other is nothing short of literary masterpiece.

Robots in disguise? I happen to think Pulitzer in disguise is more like it.

Do you want to transform 40 dollars into a book you'll cherish forever? Start here.

Thank you J.E. Alvarez. Thank you very much.
