What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

A hardcover ginormous book of movie monsters. It covers all types including silent movie, Universal, japanese bodysuit like Godzilla. It is huge and heavy like one if those library atlas type books.

There are a lot of books that could possibly fit this description. Do you know approximately how recently it was published?

There's this:

Another, perhaps less likely, possibility is:

OMG I've read a book just like that! I'm struggling to remember the title myself....I remember it had stuff like toys and stuff in it too. I got it from my school library's nonfiction section, in the 000.000's, was it the same for you?

Someone else is also looking for a similar book - whether the same as yours who can say. It might pay to read through all of the suggestions there.

It had to be published in the 2000s because I read it about eight or ten years ago. I know for a fact it also had scifi like the 50 foot woman and giant ants and more. I will check the other topic.

And yes same section. It was movie monsters. So I think it must have been published in the 2000s. I don't remember if the photos were in color.

I think it is this. I will see if I can go visit a library and flip thru it. It is reference only. https://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-M...

This is solved. Idk about toys though.

Hey, that was the one I was talking about! And it looks like we were looking for the same book, I remember your descriptions! The photos were in black and white.

I just started reading and was going to mention that there is a toy category for the monsters. I'm glad it worked out. For future reference the categories are advertising (A), comic books (C), computer and video games (CG), folklore (F), literature (L), motion pictures (MP), mythology (M), poetry (P), religion (R), stage (S), toys (T), trading cards/bubblegum cards (TC), and television (TV).

Yup, same one!

I found the book I was looking for (which sounds like this one) and it ended up being one of the enchanted world series by time life
