Tomorrow And Beyond - Masterpieces Of Science Fiction Art (1978 - Workman Publishing) 
(edited by Ian Summers) A bit thicker/heavier than my ideal size, but it is a superb collection of science fiction paintings, mostly used as book covers in the 1970s. Each of the images is captioned with the artist's name. The few text pages there be are a short discussion of the art and the divisions that book breaks them up into (Aliens, Astronauts, Symbolism, Fantasy, Barbarians, Spacecraft, Futuropolis, Other Worlds, Supernatural, Robots, Humor & Back To Earth), a section of annotations for each image (again listing artist, and then title, date & its original use / source) along with an index of artist names with the pages upon which they appear. 88 full-page presentations by the following artists: Paul Alexander (6), Nick Aristovulous (2), Wayne Barlowe*, Ken Barr*, Douglas Beekman, John Berkey (7), Chris Blumrich, John Butterfield, Vincent DiFate (3)***, Abe Echevarria, Dean Ellis (3), Ray Feibush, Stanislaw Fernandes, John Gampert, Robert Giusti, Robert Grossman, Michael Herring, Stephen Hickman**, Greg & Tim Hildebrandt**, David McCall Johnston, Larry Kresek (3), Paul Lehr (5), Robert LoGrippo (5), Don Maitz (5), Wilson McLean (5), Ron Miller (3), Charles Moll (2), Rowena Morrill (3), Carlos Ochagavia (2), Hans-Ulrich Osterwalder, Robert Pepper, Robert Petillo, Jerome Podwil, Richard Powers (4)**, Michael Presley, Don Ivan Punchatz (2), Jan Sawka, David Schleinkofer (2), John Schoenherr (3), Robert Schultz, Edward Soyka (3), Chris Spollen, Paul Stinson, Boris Vallejo (2)*, H.
