Desc-Rather odd book about the horror movie productions of Universal Studios.  This is not as good as the McFarland books but consider when this book was released.  The production values are weak and even some of the errors are corrected by hand. (ala a typo would be corrected with a handwritten correction)  The picture quality is adequate.  Fairly hard to find but some dealers have asked why am I looking for it?  I got it because I try to be a completist when it comes to the books dealing with strictly Universal Studios Monsters.  There was a warehouse find of these not long ago and a few copies have surfaced (less than 20 were found in the warehouse find)  I guess if you want this now is the time to look.  Try half.com or Amazon.  B&W pics  HB/ no DJ as issued
