From Library Journal
Librarian Rogow has put together an impressive reference book. The alphabetical listing includes terms and people related to fantasy and science fiction literature, film, television, and fandom; information on tangential media such as animation, gaming, and comics; and, best of all, science terminology and facts that come into play in fantasy and sf. There are flaws. The book is weak on comics, acknowledging only the commercial mainstream variety and doing so poorly. The entry for hobbits deals more with fandom's treatment of the race than with J.R.R. Tolkien's books. More significantly, all the people who get individual entries are men (no Ursula K. Le Guin? no Anne McCaffrey? no Andre Norton? no Mary Shelley?), an appalling oversight. However, this book will certainly interest people involved in any aspect of the genre and is recommended for subject collections.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "First edition, 1991" on its copyright page, and publisher's original "$24.95" price on its jacket's front flap. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by light wear on its spine ends. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright silver titles on its spine. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Not a remainder. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is also in near fine condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with some light wear on its spine ends, but otherwise unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Seller Inventory # 004597
