Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials/Great Aliens from Science Fiction Literature

Rating:
Summary: Awesome illustrations
Review: Though I usually let my imagination do he work, these pictures for the most part surpassed me. They are marvelous! A must have for any SF fan.

Rating:
Summary: Accurate and brilliant
Review: To put it bluntly: this is a cheap book with large full-color illustrations, printed on marvelous glossy paper, with a hard cover, easily read text, and accurately cited sources. All of the images look realistic, well-detailed, and overall very professional. In the back there is also a small portfolio of personal sketches in sepia.

Summary: It'll knock your socks off!
Review: What a great book! Barlowe is a wonderful painter of aliens. I have been looking for this book for years, ever since I saw it in a science magazine. Some of the best illustrations in the book are those of the "Cryer", the "Old One", the "Pnume", the "Medusan", the "Sirian", and the "Overlords". The only problem with this book is that the pictures make you want to read the books they are from, and 99% of these books are out-of-print! Urghhhhhh!!!!

Summary: Gives new meaning to loving a book to death
Review: _Wayne Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials_ is my 12 year old son/fantasy/scfi fanatic's favorite book. It is dog-eared from so much love, reading, studying and attention. This is no kid's book, though--these are the wunderkind's Wayne Barlowe's illustrations that have appeared in many famous scfi books. Each alien has a full bio-ethnographic description, bring each to life.
