The release date listed is 12/11/2014.

2014 is nearly over, yet it still continues to be one of more epic years in terms of new G books

Interesting! Its from the same publisher that brought us the All Toho Monster Encyclopedia MOOK earlier this year that turned out to be really strong. Please hit us with a review for this one. I'm on the fence since it seems to focus on Millennium and there isnt a page count listed.

I'd like to get that Shodai Godzilla mook and i had never heard of the Mothra one, so I might have to track that down as well. Any chance there's a good Rodan book out there?

^I'll post a few stills of the Shodai Godzilla book sometime.


Well, I went to book store and thumbed through it, and it was utterly disappointing. Bummer. Basically, an entire section was devoted to the Millenium series (with very few interesting stills/photos, a big departure from Yosensha's other Mooks), while the next section of the book was dedicated to SFX Hollywood films like Transformers, Jurassic Park, and Pacific Rim....Lame Oh well, in a year of mostly excellent book releases, you can't win 'em all. I like the unique books/mooks that Yosensha has given us over the last 2 years, but this was their first big "miss" and an easy pass.

Thanks for the updates. Sounds like a pass for me as well.
