"The Sci-Fi Movie
Guide: The Universe of Film from Alien to Zardoz" by Chris Barsanti - 1st EDITION 1st PRINT
Softcover (7-1/4" x 9-1/4") - Published in 2015 by Visible Ink - 510
pages (with numerous black & white photos) - Very good condition. Once upon
a time, science fiction was only in the future. It was the stuff of drive-ins
and cheap double-bills. Then, with the ever-increasing rush of new,
society-altering technologies, science fiction pushed its way to the present,
and it busted out of the genre ghetto of science fiction and barged its way
into the mainstream. What used to be mere fantasy (trips to the moon?
Wristwatch radios? Supercomputers capable of learning?) are now everyday
reality. Whether nostalgic for the future or fast-forwarding to the present,
The Sci-Fi Movie Guide: The Universe of Film from Alien to Zardoz covers the
broad and widening range of science-fiction movies. From the trashy to the
epic, from the classics to today's blockbusters, this cinefile’s guidebook
reviews nearly 1,000 of the biggest, baddest, and brightest from every age and
genre of cinematic and TV science fiction. You’ll find more than just Star Wars,
Star Trek, and Transformers, with reviews on many overlooked and
under-appreciated gems and genres, such as ... • Monsters! Pacific Rim,
Godzilla, The Thing, Creature from the Black Lagoon • Superheroes: Thor, Iron
Man, X-Men, The Amazing Spider-man, Superman • Avant-garde masterpieces:
Solaris, 2001, Brazil • and many, many more categories and movies!! There is
some edge wear (see the scan), but this book is still in very good condition.
No collection of books on science fiction movies is complete without this one.
Please see the scan for the great cover and so you can judge the condition for
yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my
scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from
one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you
know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the
stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be
assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition
indicated. You won't be disappointed. All previous buyers of my books on
science fiction movies have been completely satisfied. I have many others
available; please inquire. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the
USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you
purchase more than one item, please wait until I send you an invoice with the
appropriate combined shipping discount. Please see my auctions and my eBay store for
hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All
items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you
have any questions.
