Art Of Imagination
(2002 - Collectors Press) 
Know first that this tome is just the combination of three others - Science Fiction Of The 20th Century, Horror Of The 20th Century, and Fantasy Of The 20th Century. Each of those books were considered here to be twice as heavy as would be optimal and then here comes this one, putting all three of them together. It seems to be more than 10 pounds in all. Probably because of how unwieldy it is, at this moment, you can buy this omnibus for just a bit less than the three separate constituent parts, but I'd say that the minor savings are just not worth it. Anyway, it contains a new six-page introduction covering the overall compilation and the same number of unnecessary title-, indicia-, and interstitial-pages have been excised. I'm going to give in to my laziness and am not going to breakdown this three-fer. Links to each of the three individual books appear immediately below.
