Title: Mixed approach mixed results
Review: I had seen this book while shopping for the Terran Trade Authorities and Galactic Encounter books from my childhood. I vaguely remember this one from my childhood as well. So I brought it sight unseen.This book is two things. The main text is a history of science-fiction. The captions are written as a future-history narrative. The artwork is a grab-bag from the 60s-70s.The end result is rather jarring and not particularly satisfying. It would have been more effective if the author chose one route or the other rather than trying to combine both approaches.
Is the review positive or negative?
