Arrived in mail the other day. Now don't recall where its existence was come across though that happened only in the recent several weeks.
Book was published in 2015. Have now read up to page 40 or so, it will take a bit of time to get through the rest of it.
The what I'll call supporting sections look to be comprehensive.
Chapter Notes on pages 221-253.
Bibliography pages 255-264, includes print - fiction, nonfiction, pulps, journals, magazines, serialized features; film; radio.
Index page 265-274.
It looks information-dense enough to call it one of those books which comes from a doctoral dissertation, I say that though I've never had need to create one and do not know whether this in fact is one.
Book contains no photos or drawings; it will be necessary to look up sources for things for model inspirations.
Okay, flipped through it one more time just now to make sure, yep, no pictures.
(why do I keep buying books like that :confused: )
I have only one complaint about the book and it is a huge one but has nothing to do with the content, it is a manufacturing decision - over the last couple years I've encountered more and more paperbacks where the paper cover is coated with some kind of rubbery feeling material.
ICK!!!!
GROSS!!!
:mad:
Who was allowed to think that is a good idea???????????
Cover illustration is from a 1936 film titled The Invisible Ray.
