I am most impressed with this book. As a rookie Godzilla collector, it was fascinating to see the huge selection of merchandise that has been available. Living in the UK, it has been near impossible (until the internet came along) to obtain Godzilla merchandise and now I know what a task is ahead of me! Even if I cannot own the items, at least this book will provide me with a good photographic record. I was especially interested in the section devoted to film posters - it is interesting and hilarious seeing the variations between different country's versions. The book is lilterally packed with colour photos - in fact the only thing which lets it down is the lack of background text/information on the merchandise. I was glad to see no mention of the American/Tristar Godzilla (1998) apart from a entry in the film poster listing -the book was probably compiled just a little too early for this but I feel that it would have no place in the Japanese Godzilla World.

Invaluable book for collectors and dealers alike. Clear pics on some of the really rare and expensive items. The only problem is that many of the prices are WAY too low for some of the toys, but when the author is one of the largest buyers and sellers of Godzilla toys, you have to expect that.

Spend hours just looking through all the godzilla items in the last 30 to 40 years. Anyone who is a collector or a true godzilla fan, this book is a must!!!!

A comprehensive masterpiece of full Godzilla's merchanise on toys, posters, models etc. which is definitely a 'must-have guide' for true collectors in search of complete amazing collection. Very well recommended for all ages and good investment with value in money. Do not miss it or you are not complete Gozdilla's fan yet.....

If you like Godzilla, this is the book for you. Even if you have just a passing fancy into the world of collectibles, you will be amazed at how in depth and complete this volume is. Covers thousands of items. I looked at it for hours after getting it.

Finally a much need English reference work on Godzilla collectibles. This is without doubt, the finest Godzilla reference book ever released in any language. It covers toys, posters, novelty items, books, clothing - everything you can think of.

A thoroughly researched book with numerous color photos of some of the most unique items in Godzilla collecting. An indispensible guide for all collectors, and it's the next best thing to being able to afford the many items shown. Especially complete regarding toys and vinyl monster dolls.
