DiFate's Catalog Of Science Fiction Hardware
(1980 - Workman Publishing)

[-BELOW THE LINE-] (This book was created with Ian Summers) Up on The List here, you will find THE SCIENCE FICTION ART OF VINCENT DiFATE, which should be your first choice for an artful collection of his work. Only because I've found no other concise collections, would I then recommend that this be the next book you get. In fact, among this book's 157 pages, you would be getting another 43 well-presented pieces of his work, not present in the first one. The problem here is that this book is more an exploration of the technology represented in his selected paintings, accompanied by any number of low-grade technical diagrams and "blueprints". Though the paintings themselves are treated as if they were 'pictures' of the technology discussed, there is a 2-page index to the illustrations, that details where the art originally appeared and for what science-fiction tale.
