So this book arrived.. here's my impressions
Pros:
+Tons of Showa pictures I've never seen
+Pictures of more obscure creatures (including at least two giant octopuses)
+Tons of pictures
Cons:
- There are plenty of books that provide much better coverage of Heisei and Millenium films
- I wish more of this book was in color (its about 1/3 color, and that isnt by Era almost all of the millennium pics are B&W
So i would definitely say this book is worth probably double the pricetag (you can import it for about $25) and it is great for fans of Showa films. They could have probably cut out Heisei and Millennium altogether and the book wouldn't have suffered.
Anyway here are some images from the book that i thought were worth sharing
Oh that Gabara....
