Summary: Sci fi fans and scholars will enjoy this book
Review: If you need to research an area of science fiction, or its related fields (the guide's range is pretty eclectic) this is a wonderful starting place. I prefer to browze through it and read the summaries of neglected titles. There are plenty of topical, personal, author, etc. indices and sections on film, criticism, Sci fi for young people -- a treasure trove. I always find something new and intriguing. Browsing this weighty volume leads me back to Amazon.com for more compulsive book buying
