SCI-FI OF THE 20TH CENTURY - ILLUS HISTORY- LIM ED BOOK

From the dust jacket:

Vividly illustrated with images of film posters, magazines, and books - many shown here for the first time - Science Fiction of the 20th Century offers an insider's view of the prophetic writers, illustrators, and editors who made science fiction the most popular form of entertainment in the twentieth century.

Dime novels, pulp magazines, books, films, television - science fiction has chronicled both our hope for the future and our fear of it. Best-selling author Frank M. Robinson tells the story-behind-the-story, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, published in the 1800s, through the fantastic visions of Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and a host of others who made science fiction not only their profession but their life. The atomic bomb, space programs, cloning, and Internet come to life as talented writers, artists, and filmmakers share their sense of wonder and their adventures of the mind.

Science Fiction of the 20th Century features spellbinding images and lively tales on popular stories and characters of the twentieth century. The artisans and their works are the subject of this new must-have book for not only collectors of memorablilia, but for every person who has longed to step into his or her imaginary world, be it one of flight, fear, or fantasy - if only for a moment.
