Book Reviews of Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters: Defending the Earth with Ultraman and Godzilla
Book Review: Tsuburarya IS The Master!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like giant monster movies, and want to know more about how they were made, this book is for you. Not many photos of the monsters (there are other books out there for that) but there are behind the scenes photos. Learn the biographies of the men who made films you still love after all these years. Not much has been published in the West about them, but here it is! Well written and laid out. 2 page essays about certain film makers by noted Western Kaiju lovers. Worth the price, and thankful that it was printed.
