Monsters in the Movies - John Landis

Admittedly, this is more on pictures and illustrations than reading. But this is one of the best collection of Monsters in a book I've seen in quite sometime. As Landis says, this is NOT an exhaustive collection. Just the ones he remembers and wants to talk about. His interviews with key people like Harryheusen, Baker, Carpenter and others, balance this beautiful coffee table sized book out.
