The main parts are a hundred-page historical perspective, and a two-hundred-page examination of a hundred leading artists one at a time. . . .
There are famous pictures here. . . . They were made to illustrate s-f stories; they are here to illustrate the story of s-f.
To this extent, in fairness to Di Fate, we must realize his book is backwards. The contents of Infinite Worlds are aesthetically successful, characteristic (or interestingly uncharacteristic), striking — pictures in themselves worth looking at, with less regard for their publisher or for what they illustrate. That is the reverse of what the men and women who made them had as their task. I do not propose it as a fault; I consider it an achievement.
So is the beauty of his book.
