Jun 13 10 11:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	So I will finally be getting a copy of the "Monster Movie Fan's Guide to Japan" though in a kind of round about way. See I just won a bid on ebay for a bunch of back issues of G-FAN, Fangoria and this book for $10.00. So yeah.... Some questions, Armand, if you don't mind answering them: 1) Does the "Monster Movie Fan's Guide to Japan" include just photos of the sites themselves or does it also features pictures from the various films of the buildings being destroyed by their respective monsters, similar to what was seen in issues of G-FAN that covered this same topic? 2) Does this only cover kaiju films or are other sci-fi and fantasy films like Battle in Outer Space, H-Man and The Great Yokai War included? 3) Is the interior color or black and white? Thanks in advance and I look forward to finally getting to read this. I always enjoyed the articles in G-FAN.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to finally getting to read this. I always enjoyed the articles in G-FAN. Thank you! To answer your questions: 1.) It is just of the locations themselves. To use the movie photos may be costly as Toho would probably want to charge for them. The photos are primarily mine from five trips to Japan. G-FAN is more-or-less a publication subject to fair-use laws which allows it to use photos as long as the article falls within the realm of a review or scholarly. I might have been able to do the same, but decided not to go that route. The specific movies are covered in the articles. 2.) It just covers kaiju films. 3.) The interior is black and white and easy on the eyes. Armand's Rancho del Cielo

Beyond that, any publicity photos released by the studios (or grabs from trailers) are allowed since they were previously cleared by the studios for press usage. As an author/publisher, you are "the press." Something to bear in mind for updated editions.

As an author/publisher, you are "the press." Something to bear in mind for updated editions. Proteus, you are correct on all counts. A couple of years ago, Peter H. Brothers was considering usage of photos for his book. I dug around and found information on "fair use" of photos and passed it on to him. The points you raised on photos and the ones I mentioned in the interview are all protected under "fair use." I also received word (and some questions) from Metropolis Magazine in Japan that they are going forward with an article on the travel guide. Metropolis Magazine Armand's Rancho del Cielo
