...and it was put together by Jimbo of the Ramones. It is a fun book, the publisher, Chronicle, has put out some interesting art titles. |

There is a follow up book that focusses on giant robots. i have that one, but can't remember the title. Chronicle Books again though and came out last year. It's pretty darn cool. |

That's Super #1 Robot. I highly recommend it. Check out: http://www.timbrisko.com/super1/ Not only does it have a really concise overview of the industry from the 70s into the 80s, the photography is excellent and the subjects are a mix of die-cast and vinyls. |
