Rare and Unique Spaceships Inside, November 6, 2010
This review is from: Starlog Photo Guidebook: Spaceships (Paperback)
Starlog Photo Guidebook to Spaceships. 35 pages. 1977 printing.
Magazine style format. This covers spaceships of all kinds, starting
from woodcut images to early paintings, to movies and TV. The kind of
ships we have come to know began with 1936's Flash Gordon serials.
This magazine mentions a lot of ships and movies I had never heard
of. Unfortunately, most of the images in this mag appear to be degraded
'screenshots' from film and TV, though some are in color. Quite a bit
grainy. This may have been a limitation of color printing in the 1970s,
I am not sure.
Still, it covers the history of spaceships on film pretty well,
right on up to the late 1970's. If you are curious, or nostalgic for
50's, 60's, and 70's spaceships, this would be a good choice and a
quick read.
