Fellow Transformers site TransFans has been contacted by Richard Marcej himself, about his upcoming book publishings. Richard Marcej was the man responsible for most of the boxart found on the front of the Transformers boxes of the 80's. Niw some of that work will be published in this release.

The following response has been taken directly from their site.

"Paul,

I Thought you might like to know that I have just published two books.

One book is a 48 page digest book featuring much of the artwork I did while working as a package and toy designer there. It's called My Artwork and Designs at Hasbro 83'-89' and showcases the toys I worked on included Transformers, Battle Beasts, G.I.Joe, Inhumanoids, and more. It's just $5.
