From Library Journal
During the past few years science fiction and fantasy books and movies have been elevated to the level of serious study, with encyclopedias, illustrated histories, and memoirs of leading authors and artists available. Weinberg's work is the first comprehensive biographical dictionary to cover the science fiction/fantasy art field. Focusing on contemporary artists, and beginning with an informative historical essay, it provides entries for 279 artists that include a biographical sketch and a well-researched list of published works. The artwork identified has appeared in books and about 100 science fiction magazines. An important and impressive effort, sure to become a classic in a popular though specialized field.

Product Description
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.
