A pretty good selection
No book can be an all-encompassing collection of Sci-Fi films. So it is a matter of personal taste on which one is represented. This album (published the second edition of 1982) emphasizes the world of Sci-Fi, as opposed to just collections from different eras.
Lots of good stills are shown that seemed to have evaded the magazines and many other Sci-Fi books. This is an earlier version.
Contents include:
Preface (overview “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” & “Star Wars”)
The Silent Days (example “Trip to the Moon” & “Metropolis”)
Nowhere Out There (example “Just Imagine” & “Things to Come”)
A Golden Age (example “The Day the Earth Stood Still” & “Invaders From Mars”)
From Theater to Tube (example “Captain Video” & “The Twilight Zone”)
Social Responsibility (for example “Village of the Damned” & The Time Machine”)
Rapid Changes (example “2100: A Space Odyssey” & “Soylent Green”)
Wish Upon A Star (example “Star Wars” & “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”)
The Continuing Saga (for example “Battlestar Galactica” & “Time After Time”)
There are many other Sci-Fi films mentioned in this album.
