Reviews
"An incredible selection of Foss' work." - io9 "An indispensable collection of out-there space art." - SciFi Bulletin "There's a real sense of wonder all over this book and personally, I still find it all very inspiring. [Hardware] truly is a terrific book and certainly highly, highly recommended." - The Trades "A great art book, and one you should definitely own... this belongs on your coffee table next to the work of other great artists like Ansel Adams and Roy Lichtenstein." - Never Not a Nerd "I was constantly blown away by Foss's ability to turn fiction into reality. [Foss's art is] full of things we'll likely never see but it looks so authentic, like a history book of the future. It's grounded in such a reality that you can't help but believe it might be real." - Very Aware "... this book will turn you into a fan..." - We Love Cult "I absolutely love this thing." - Topless Robot, "An incredible selection of Foss' work." - io9 "An indispensable collection of out-there space art." - SciFi Bulletin "There's a real sense of wonder all over this book and personally, I still find it all very inspiring.

Synopsis
Foss's groundbreaking and distinctive science �ction art revolutionized paperback covers in the 1970s and 80s.

Featuring work for books by Isaac Asimov, E. E. 'Doc' Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, A. E. Van Vogt and Philip K. Dick, and �lm design for Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick, this volume brings together many rare and classic images that have never been seen or reprinted before.

- c***7 (4140)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoExcellent, reliable bookseller I have bought from repeatedly! Books are always as listed or nicer, carefully packaged to protect the books, and shipped immediately! I received these books two days after purchase! Very pleased as always! Thanks!!
- _***m (17)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoIt was a great experience doing business with this seller! Before they sent me this book, they told me that the last one they had had some damage to the cover and some of the pages were bent and offered to partially refund me if I still wanted the book. I appreciated the care they took before sending me the book, and I’m honestly happy that the book was still in pretty decent condition other than what was mentioned. Would definitely recommend this seller!
- s***a (24)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI purchased multiple books from this seller, and this was a great experience! Each book was listed at a great price! Everything was shipped out quickly, and arrived only a few days after that. The book was packaged appropriately as well. The condition of the book was even better than what was listed, as it looked almost brand new, rather than the “very good” that was stated. I absolutely would buy from this seller again!Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 4 (N° 277177504881)
