Trivia

  • Despite its cover, Amazon lists the book under the title "Godzilla: The Ultimate Illustrated Guide" in both the United States and United Kingdom.[1][3]
  • The book's cover uses altered poster art from Shin Godzilla. Along with the addition of cracks on the image, Godzilla's eye has been completely removed.
  • This will mark the first official English-language encyclopedic book about the Godzilla franchise since Random House's The Official Godzilla Compendium from 1998.
  • This book opts to refer to the original Godzilla by the romaji of its Japanese title, Gojira, instead of by its international English title. Classic Media had previously released the film to DVD and Blu-ray in North America under this title.
