Good book. I have owned this since I was a child. It was a great portal into many of these classic Sci Fi books as I would have never heard about them otherwise. Barlowe has a fantastic nack for bringing life to these aliens. Highly recommended.

Barlowe`s Guide is a classic! A Field Guide for the Sci-Fi Novel.

I remember getting this wonderful book when it first came out and being amazed at seeing such professional paintings of the creatures and beings from many of my favorite science fiction novels.The illustrations are so well-done that even non-sci-fi fans enjoy them.The sketchbook section in the back of the volume is particuarly fun to look at.Anybody who has read some,or all,of the novels Mr.Barlowe used to people "Guide to Extraterrestrials" will get a kick out of comparing Barlowe`s version to the version you created while reading a particular novel.Over the years I have either lost or lent out 3 copies of the 'Guide'...and I always replace it.
Thank you for reading!

Once I saw that there was a Velantian in this, from E. E. Doc Smith's Lensman series, I was sold, and had to get it. Done as a page by page look at each species the artwork is excellent, and these are the sort of funny looking monster types that kids like too, so it can work on more than one level, most definitely.

Amazing

It could be science fiction
myths...
unrealistic scenario,
but certainly it is amazing.
So much work went in the
preparation of this book.
So much details.
My God!
It is really amazing....

think of it as "Alien Centerfolds of Sci-Fi"

The artwork in this book is fabulous. It's a neat little companion book for sci-fi fans; it has wonderful illustrations of all the various organisms that have been portrayed in some of sci-fi's classic and canonical works. And along with those illustrations? Little one-page write ups on their biology, social structure, etc.
