Book Help

Post by ODB »

Anyone know where I might be able to get a copy of Ultimate Guide to G.I.Joe 1982-1994 by J R Hartley. Not really its by Michael Bellomo. For those that need a pic:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Guide- ... 042XF41YAY

No where seems to have it in stock and several US sellers have given stupid P&P rates. I'd like to get this version as its written by the same guy who did a Transformers book and thats very good.

I am not sure how much postage is though I think I bought mine from there, Here is a thread from a few months ago about said book.

I got mine (the 2nd edition pictured above) from Amazon.co.uk via this UK shop: The Book Depository

It's £12.09 with £2.75 shipping... Worth every penny paid I'd say :)

I haven't read the first one but apparently this one is the first one but with all the minor gripes sorted out, like apparently the shots and angles weren't to great in the first...and the pictures in mine are sweet.

Here is some comparisons and a bit of info, you'll have to scroll down a little...

there are a few mistakes in the first edition, so Im assuming they have corrected them ? and possibly added some extra bits and pieces ? looks as tho the vehicle shots are greatly improved !

I got our 1st version copy from ebay before last Christmas

I agree that some of the photos can be found "wanting" - the photos of the Terrordrome don't show the Firebat in any detail, the Flagg suffers from a long-shot of the entire body and a lot of the top-down vehicle shots don't work because all you see is a square of plastic.
