Kikaida Books
Published in 1972, this book was #3 in a series. This book has 20 pages (counting covers) of color photos from Jinzo Ningen Kikaida. Published in Japan for Japanese readers this book is written in Japanese and is read from right to left rather than left to right as with books written in English. As you can see this book has suffered some slight damage over the years but I think its in pretty good shape considering it was published almost 30 years ago.
This book is about 8 inches wide and 10 1/2 inches long. The above scans of the front and back pages have been reduced from their original size in order to fit them on the screen.

The color photos include a "Back of the Dark and Shadow" section featuring rear views of Dark Androids, 11 Dark monsters, Zadam and 1 Shadow monster.

Purchased from Scott Sunada
I received this coloring book free from JN Productions with the purchase of the volume 6 DVD.
This hard to find, out of print book, is my 3rd most expensive Kikaida item. I bought it on ebay for $99.99 plus shipping. It is probably the best Kikaida book printed, with 80 pages of color photos and 61 pages of black and white photos from Jinzo Ningen Kikaida and Kikaida-01. The text is in Japanese and includes program guides for both shows.
