4.0 out of 5 stars NOTE: NO PICTURES!, March 3, 2004

William Hardy (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Chesley Bonestell Space Art Chronology (Paperback)

I should not have bought this book. There's no question it is an excellent resource, but I bought it expecting artwork and there is NONE in this book! Buy it if you are an active collector looking for Bonestell's very hard-to-find paintings in magazines and books, but if you're looking for a book of his art, this isn't it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Text Resource, January 17, 2000

T. Kraemer (Dix Hills, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: A Chesley Bonestell Space Art Chronology (Paperback)

As a long time Bonestell fan I was pleased to acquire the Chronology. It provides information about the places where Bonestell art has been published. Even the long time fan may find some surprise books. For example, it's great to be able to find out the exact issues of Colliers with Bonestell art. Be prepared, though, the only picture in the entire book is on the cover. The rest is all text. If you need a resource to help you search for OP books and magazines on the web, this is it. Be ready for high prices or just plain non-availability. Some books like The Exploration of Mars (one of the best for Bonestell art) are virtually unavailable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Valuable Reference, December 7, 1999

Graham Bates (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Chesley Bonestell Space Art Chronology (Paperback)

I have been a Bonestell fan for many years and this listing of appearances of his art is remarkably useful. Previously I had only come across listings of Bonestell's illustrations for the SF Magazines - anything else I tended to find by accident rather than design. Schuetz has obviously spent a great deal of time in searching through long runs of magazines to compile his Chronology and the format he has used to present the information is logical and straightforward. As more and more people 'discover' Bonestell there is bound to be an increase in publications that contain his artwork, I look forward to an updated edition of the Chronology in a few years time.
