Reviews
On first impression, one immediately notices that this is a very nicely made book, easy
to hold and read. Fanning through the volume, there is a lot of color, organized
information, and many previously-unseen illustrations, all very thoughtfully and invitingly
laid-out. Extensive research and meticulous care were taken to produce this unique and essential visual exposition on the SF of 1927. Highly recommended!
