http://amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4575296309/bigbotdotcom-22This book was published on Nov. 25th.
I uploaded the cover photo of it in the "Photos" section of this
eGroup. See "UFO Taizen Japanese Book"
This book is edited by Hideki Kakinuma and Hideaki Ito, and published
by Futabasha, who also published "THUNDERBIRDS Taizen" book.
207 pages( color 8 pages).
The first half is mainly edited by Kakinuma, and dealt with the
reseach of UFO,that is :Characters, Vehicles, Episodes, Actors etc.
There's almost nothing new, I think.
The recent researches, for example from FANDERSON's FAB magazines,
have not been reflected on the writers' "researches".
The latter half is mainly edited by Ito.
These pages introduce Mr. Ito's vast collection of UFO merchandise.
The only interesting and epoc-making pages are "Kit bashing of SHADO
Vehicles".
There are a detailed blueprints/references for plastic model kit
parts (from Airfix, Lifelike, Revell etc.) used for SHADO Vehicles
Props - Mobile, Sky1, Diver, Interceptor.
In this book ,Paolo Malaguti wrote "UFO in Italy" and "Visit to
Pinewood Studio" articles.
