Summary: A good intro to Whelan's work
Comment: I finally located this at a used bookstore after years of searching, and the time was well worth it! This out-of-print book is not as comprehensive as "The Art of Michael Whelan", but it certainly does the job for me. It contains beautiful reproductions of his sci-fi and fantasy book covers up to 1989, when it was published. My main reasons for wanting this book are the inclusion of the oversized piece done for "The Best of HP Lovecraft" and the John Carter of Mars gallery, reprinting every cover done for ER Burroughs' Mars series. Many of the pieces are framed with conceptual sketches, giving food for thought on how these beautiful works could have turned out differently. Other works include covers for Heinlein, Niven, Piers Anthony, and Asimov's "Robots" series.

Rating: 4
Summary: A pity...
Comment: ...that that book be out of print. It trully is beautiful. It also include many a cover of famous SF books, such as R A Heinlein's "Friday", and many more great books by Larry Niven and co. I would strongly recommend anyone interested in SF to try get that book...

Many SF art books are slightly disappointing to me because they mix styles. Michael Whelan, though, is one of the most perfectionist and 'clean' SF artist - his pictures are of strange places and times, or familiar heroes, but easily understandable and enjoyable.
