This review of the compendium points out many of the sloppy errors made in the text-



I can't believe this is going for over $50 in most places. I'd rather spend that amount on the Jim Harmon or Ian Thorne book before I would ever re-purchase this thing again. The book was so childish for an official compendium it was one of the few times I was actually embarrassed to be a Godzilla fan after reading through it.

If you want to see a book with terrible info about Godzilla, you should read the essay about him in . It makes Marrero's book look like the series bible.

Hmm, I have a copy buried away somewhere of the compendium.... :?

I'm willing to take any reasonable offer for it, say a car or a timeshare. :)
