Issued as a companion to G-Fan magazine, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Godzilla remains one of the most complete study of Godzilla movies in the English language. Godziszewski has done an amazing amount of research for this volume. Among the book’s highlights is an in-depth write up for each Godzilla movie, from Godzilla King of the Monsters through Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, each listing having a review and evaluation, cast and credits list and Japanese and American release dates. The book also has sections devoted to biographies on Godzilla series actors and staff, unused Godzilla footage, special effects techniques in both the classic and Heisei series (including original design drawings for monsters such as King Ghidorah), publicity campaigns, and Godzilla merchandising. Among the most fascinating of features are glimpses into several unmade projects such as “Godzilla vs. Bagan” and “The Return of King Ghidorah”, films that Toho had planned and done treatments for but ultimately never filmed.http://www.kaijuphile.com/rodansroost/books/tieog.shtml
