Looking for a rare Toho book

Guys. I'm looking for a rare book called the Toho Encyclopedia. It's a hardcover, 500 plus page book that was released in the mid 1980s. This is a picture of its cover:

It pretty much covers all the Godzilla movies from Godzilla '54 to Godzilla '84 and it's filled with images and stills and such.

I have the book your looking for. However, it's long out of print. I personally got my copy brand new a few years ago for $115. Best of luck on getting it.

Not sure if it will help with your quest, but the story of how I came across my copy might be of use. There was a seller from Japan on E-Bay who I had dealt with on a couple of occasions. I asked him if he would be interested in helping me locate a few items, one of which was this book (another was a Marui Mothra larva). Apparently the book was readily available in Japan and he located me a copy (in excellent shape) in less than 2 days, for a measly $100. The Mothra took a little longer, and cost $250 more, but I digress...the point is, if you have (or ever plan to) deal with a Japanese seller, just ask if they can help, it's always worked for me! :mrgreen:
