Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials: Great Aliens from Science Fiction Literature by Beth Meacham, Wayne Barlowe, Ian Summers, Robert Silverberg

4.0

If I had come across this book as a kid, I would have spent hours pouring over the pages -- imagining my own stories for each of the aliens pictured, inspired to create my own worlds and creatures in encyclopedic form. Evokes a particular nostalgia, unfounded in that I've only read a handful of the source texts. I especially loved the sketchbook drawings at the end.
