I know I'm not searching on the right terms, but I can's seem to find a relevant thread for this book:


Illustrated by Mark Nagata, if I'm reading it right. Since it's becoming available on June 1st, I would've thought there was at least some reference to in some thread.

My local Forbidden Planet is selling this (UK).
It is a good quality hardback - i had a quick look at it.

Looks fairly interesting, not too in-depth though, more of a fun overview.
(there are schematics of monsters internal organs for example) Mainly stills
from the films.

Max Toy and Kaiju Sofubi colour photos in the back.

I got the book today. Looks very great.
Cool desing, great photo and amazing art. Some from Nagata of course but also
some by Elegab's Nari-san and his friend Sakabashira and others.

The only let down is the toys section - so few .. and the choice, meh.
Maybe the vintage dudes will yawn to the floor but for the other it's a must !
Way more interesting than the "encyclopedia" when got earlier this year.
