John Bonavita's Mego book question

[bobws]

I have Benjamin's WGStoys book and now i'm wondering if John's book covers all the others lines as well or is it more of a price guide? Also does anyone cover the Mego company itself more than Ben's book? Please give your opinions.Thanks

John's book covers most of the other 8" lines. Mine is falling apart because I pored over it for years...I love it. It does have prices, but that info is pretty much redundant. I think that apart from the Museum, it is probably the most comprehensive Mego resource around.

I have both books as well and enjoy them for different reasons. John's book is a great resource as it does go beyond the DC and Marvel WGSH. To the extent you are interested in these other lines this is a great resource.

From the wow standpoint, however, Benjamin's book spoils the reader with its photographic beauty - you feel like you have a bird's eye view to some of the great collections out there after reading it. John's book doesn't come close to the photo quality of Benjamin's imho.

If your a mego collector, you would be naked without John's book, it is seminal to the history of mego collecting

My 10 year old copy is near worn out from countless times of flipping through it.
