Revolution: The Art of Jon Foster
Jon Foster
Underwood Books, 2006
Too good for words - just get it!
The postman arrived about an hour ago. I opened the parcel, the book and got lost in Jon's worlds.
I just shut it and I felt need to get this out now.
I first got hooked by Jon's art as I read Liz Williams' Inspector Chen novels. His covers are amazing. Before ...

And Their Memory Was a Bitter Tree
Robert E Howard
BlackBart Books, 2008
Pretty cool book!!!! Take a look at it yourselves!!!!
The sole postive reviewer has got it right. Many but not all of these nay-sayers seem to certainly have an agenda and will even unfairly critique the book to accomplish a pathatic fan-boy need. They don't like the forward of the book. They think its a rehash of L. ...

The Fantasy Master
When people think of fantasy artwork, they might think first of those Conan and Edgar Rice Burroughs paperback covers, or a berserker warrior on horseback, corpses of foes beneath him and dripping weapon above him. People think of Frazetta first, whether or not they ...

Origins: The Art of John Jude Palencar
John Jude Palencar
Underwood Books, 2007
Glorious reproductions of many works by a brilliant artist
I enjoyed Palencar's surrealistic cover art for years without knowing his name. I think the first may have been for Connie Willis (both her collections of short fiction). I remember stopping and studying the cover and thinking, "Wow, this is really, really something." ...

Testament: The Life and Art of Frank Frazetta
Frank Frazetta
Underwood Books, 2008
Odds & Ends Collection, "Icon" & "Legacy" Better to Start
This is a beautiful book, but the more famous Frazetta works are to be found in the two previous books of this trilogy. So this book is great for serious Frazetta fans, but "Icon" and "Legacy" are better books for showing the most famous of his works. This book, ...
