While looking up Kerry's book, The Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos on Amazon.com I discovered the Famous Movie Monster series published by the Rosen Publishing Group. Even though they are expensive ($26.50) for a 48-page hardcover book I decided to order all of them except Meet Godzilla and Meet the Blob. I recieved them the other day and I'm really happy I ordered them. They're nicely done and are full color inside. The B & W photos used are tinted (differently in each book), and they have movie posters throughout. They mainly cover the Universal and Hammer films featuring the subject Monster (except for King Kong of course). I haven't had time to read any of the text yet, but the design and look of the books is wonderful. The books sort of remind me of the Crestwood books published years ago. So if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket and you like this type of thing you might want to check them out. Or check your local library since this seems to be the market the books were geared toward judging by the high price. Hear's a link to the Amazon.com page where you can check them out:
