I had a pleasant visit with Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men: The Fantastic Cinema of Ishiro Honda author Peter H. Brothers today at his home in Agoura Hills, California.
Above, Pete with his "baby."
As I had to go to nearby Thousand Oaks to pick up a new battery for my notebook computer (I have to return it tomorrow, it appears to be defective), and since Pete's home was nearby, I stopped in to pick up a copy of his book along with fliers and business cards. Since I am meeting with Japanese book dealers and distributors during my trip to Japan next month, we thought it may be worthwhile to show them Pete's book and generate some interest.

I also gave Pete a copy of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan along with some business cards I just had made in preparation for the Japan trip. He wanted to pay for the book, but since I received a review copy of his book, compliments of his publisher, I told him it was my pleasure to return the favor.
Over coffee, we discussed our respective book-selling experiences and some plans to do some joint activities over the next year. (Stay tuned!)
It dawned on me as I was writing this that the photo of Pete (above) was taken one year and three days ago on November 14, 2009! Where did the year go?
