5.0 out of 5 stars Perchance to Dream, January 21, 2007

This review is from: Vision of the Future: The Art of Robert McCall (Hardcover)

When I was aboy, before Spaceshuttles exploded and Star Trek was full of old actors I dreamed of space. This book, a collection of artwork beginning in the Kennedy era of the space program and continuing to a future beyond imagination, is the stuff dreams are made of. I personaly read it cover to cover untill it wore out. I'm sure I even slept with it. Not only are there patriotic paintings of the U.S Space Program and a wistfull painting of the meeting of the Appollo/Soyez, but there is a huge section on some of the most ambitious Sci-fi films of era (2001, The Black Hole, Star Trek: The Motion Picture) then in the end of the book there are illustrations that go off the chart. Massive future cities, planet sized starships, cavernous concert halls, and limitless possibilities.

I'm surprised no one else has reviewed this book, but it DOES predate the internet. So if you have a young child, give him/her something to dream about.
