Godzilla (6/54) - The Art of Japanese Monsters 100-copy signed limited leatherbound hardcover (2014)


Having been a small press publisher myself, I know you don't hesitate when you have a chance to pick up a reasonably priced, extremely limited edition of a book you're interested in. 

So when I heard about Sean Linkenback's The Art of Japanese Monsters in 2014, I splurged and ordered one of the 100-copies bound in leather, signed and numbered by the author, and including a Bob Eggleton art print featuring Godzilla suit actor Haruo Nakajima and actor Akira Takarada, and signed by all three.






The book collects hundreds of images of promotional artwork from Japanese fantasy films. It's a fantastic collection, including the Showa and Heisei eras of Godzilla (including several of my favorite painted posters by artist Noriyoshi Ohrai). It's a treasured Godzilla related title in my library.
