Cool Reviews for August Ragone's "Master of Monsters"!

Hey there, folks!  I'm sure all of you are familier with August Ragone's incredible book, "Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters", which was released six or seven years ago.  As many of you are probably aware, the book will be re-released in paperback on April 8th, riding the Godzilla marketing wave sure to eventually start up here soon... hopefully. :P  It will be a good excuse for people who didn't get the hardcover to pick up this great book.  For those people who have not read it, I humbly offer these two awesome reviews, one for the original release, and one for the re-release, to convince you:

"Eiji Tsuburaya was a very reserved man on the set. Most of the direction he gave me for the performances was, 'I trust you to do it. Do what you feel is best, I'll leave it up to you.' And that's the way he was for most of the films we worked on together after Godzilla. After the wires broke on the Rodan suit, causing me to fall several meters onto the miniature set, he chided, 'It's good that you didn't die; because I need you to finish the film.' And I replied, 'That's easy for you to say; I'm the one inside the costume.' But, these things would sometimes happen. It's been forty-three years since Tsuburaya has left us, but what a happy feeling to have a book published about him after all this time. And that it came not from Japan, but from the U.S.! I'm sure the Old Man would be as happy as I am. August did a wonderful job. Thanks to all for not forgetting him."
-Haruo Nakajima
original Godzilla suit actor (1954-1972) and the Man of a Thousand Monsters

And here's something I think you'll REALLY like:

"When I moved to America to start filming Godzilla, this was one of the few books I brought with me. Eiji is a true inspiration, and a one of a kind innovator of special effects, the likes of which we'll probably never see again in cinema."
-Gareth Edwards, director of Monsters and Godzilla (2014).            

How cool is that?!?!?!?!  This comes as no real suprise, but its still nice to hear!  Plus, eagle-eyed viewers of Gareth's Godzilla: Awakening video will see the book on the shelf behind him!

Just something I thought I'd share! :)
