Revisions, Revisions, Etc.

Peter H. Brothers has been busy re-working and revising his biography on Godzilla director Ishiro Honda, Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men: The Fantastic Cinema of Ishiro Honda. He has completed "Phase II" of the project and is now starting "Phase III."

He is adding more material from Japanese sources, among other things. He mentioned that it has been three years since the original edition was published (hard to believe it has been that long). As I recall, it came out around November 2009, about two months before The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan. We had a gathering at his stately manor in Thousand Oaks, California to celebrate its publication.

This reminds me. Since ComiXpress has decided to close its doors, I have been mulling about doing a revision (or update) of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan. As I mentioned previously, I am leaning towards that, but if I do, it won't be started until early next year. Most, if not all, travel guides go through updates, usually on an annual basis. But as I am not "corporate America," it will take a while to get completed.

In the meantime, since we (the Nakajimas and I) are not going to the Days of the Dead convention, this frees up more copies that otherwise would have been allocated for the convention from my at-hand stock.

Details for snagging a copy are here.
