Peter Elson (1947-1998) was an English science fiction illustrator whose work appeared on the covers of numerous science fiction paperback novels, as well as in the Terran Trade Authority series of illustrated books.
Ok second time round for this - cat was helping me and wiped the last review out. Ok this is an old book -published by Dragons Dreams - sister publisher to Paper Tiger. The book is short on 77 pages long but once you are past the intros (which by the way cover off both Peter Elson and Chris Moore who is not credited here) you are in to full page images of some of the iconic science fiction images found during the 80, in fact in this one of the most impressive is the two page colour image of Arthur C Clarke's Fountains of paradise. An impressive book which fires my imagination now as much as it did back then when i first found out about this title.
