About this title

Review:

Infinite Worlds has a little bit of everything to offer those interested in science fiction art: a brief history of the field, short biographies of more than 100 artists, and 700 images from some of the finest sci-fi book and magazine covers ever created. Author Vincent Di Fate combines all of these elements to create a book that is as enjoyable to read as it is to look through. It even has a two-page digression on the influence of Stanley Meltzoff's famous painting for Robert A. Heinlein's The Puppet Masters. Whether you're after a coffee-table art book or an encyclopedia of the science fiction world, Infinite Worlds is the book for you.
