Weinberg's work is so ground-breaking, his research so arduous,
and his precursors in this field so generally unhelpful that we
must regard this as charting virtually unexplored waters. There is
nothing really to compare the book to, and there is not likely to
be a more complete such book in the near future. Weinberg deserves
the thanks of anyone seriously interested in what we might call the
cultural history of SF, and his book belongs in any collection that
purports to represent that history. "Science Fiction StudieS"
While there have been numerous books published over the past few
decades on the subject of science fiction and fantasy books and
movies, almost no attention has been paid to science fiction and
fantasy artists. Although a number of picture books emerged in
recent years, only a limited number have provided any significant
information. This comprehensive biographical dictionary represents
one of the first research efforts in the field of science fiction
art. It is not an art book, but rather a book about artists. As one
of the first comprehensive biographical dictionaries, it was
intended to serve as a catalyst to stimulate further
scholarship.
