Sad, but understandable. I'd love to hear more of his thoughts on this.

He also said that no one buys them. He said after #10 he had stacks and stacks of them in his office, unsold. I too agree with you that I'd love to see more about how these films are made. JG #9 actually made me like GMK more after I read. And he says he has a ton of info on FCTW.

I honestly never bothered with the last issue because there is so much information about the original Godzilla that is already widely available. The idea of getting a magazine solely focused on one of the more obscure films like Frankenstein Conquers the World sounds fascinating, and I would contribute money to see it be made.

I'm not being sarcastic, I just think more people might see them there, and we can keep this thread on-topic.
Very pleased to report that a significant hurdle was cleared this week and it now appears that the path to publication is much clearer and within reach. This was an obstacle that had held up our timeline for some months now, but we hope and expect that it will be relatively smooth sailing hereon. We’re anxious to get a firm publication date and to share that with our friends, and will do so as soon as we can.
Steve Ryfle is co-author, with Ed Godziszewski, of ISHIRO HONDA: A LIFE IN FILM, FROM GODZILLA TO KUROSAWA, due in 2017 from Wesleyan University Press.
Brief update: the book is now officially in the production phase
More accurately, I should say that the copy editing has begun. After that's completed (November) the book will be designed. Should have a publication date soon. Stay tuned.
Our publisher is the esteemed Wesleyan University Press. We have been fortunate to have a very supportive relationship with WUP over the past several years as we've moved from the research to the writing and now the editing/production phases of the book.
