Eiji Tsuburaya by August Ragone (2007, Hardcover)

Anyone who is a fan of the Japanese monster movies of the past 40 years will love this book! Not only is it loaded with photos of the best of those favorite moments from the past, but also a chance to see behind the scenes and examine the inner workings of the industry.
From a strictly historical retrospect the book sets the standard for others to follow. As a reference for modelers (which I am ) it is invaluable. But as strictly fun and entertaining I'd be hard pressed to recommend anything else out there that comes close!
I must admit that I had been about to order the book through Bud Plant, but decided to check eBay first. I saved about 33% on the cover price using the web-site! Always a plus when making purchases for favorite items!
In closing I will add that since this book covers the golden age of Japanese cinema and the technological innovations that brought miniature worlds and fantastic characters to life, it is extremely gratifying that it comes as a beautifully bound hard back edition!
Enjoy, - Jim Clukey
