Book Review: Informative and practically complete
Summary: 4 Stars
As one reader had put it, it seemed sterile. I dont doubt for a second about the author's passion over GI JOE/ARAH, but I think including the box art, file cards and better photographs would have made this an amazing book. Like the Kenner SW ACTION FIGURE guide, I was bowled over. The shots made for the vehicles just seemed so plain and without any character..it was like, snap, there you go. The USS FLAGG for instance should have taken up at least two pages to show the side, fore and aft views as well as a dynamic display-ie like a pic from the WISHBOOK but with better resolution.
My only request is that Mark B. makes the shots more dynamic or at least more than just one shot. ARAH is still an incredible line, the photography should match it. Mark's knowledge is without precedent the best I have ever seen. I only suggest that perhaps in his next book, he include some great customs on folks that truly love this toy line. I wish Mark great success with this book and his second which I intend on buying as soon as I can.
