3.0 out of 5 stars A casual coffee-table book April 8 2000
By Alex
Format:Paperback
The Dictionary of Science Fiction Places is near-completely useless if you use it the way it is intended - to develop your vision and understanding of a specific scientific locale. I can certainly say that the odds of you reading something that is described in the book are slim to nil (outside the obvious entries, like Pern, which was perfectly mapped out a long time prior). The art is completely inappropriate and does exactly nothing for the book's value. The only way the Dictionary of Science Fiction Places may prove useful is if you casually flip through it to find some long out of print and offbeat works of science fiction.

I constantly find myself going back to this book and looking up odd facts about both books I have read and books I havent. This is a great book for any serious sciencefiction fan.!

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit off target Jun 25 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a fairy nice book, and it's fun to look through (though I'm not sure I agree with all of the artist's interpretations) but I found it a little unsteady. I would invest in the excellent "The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction", it's more general but oddly, it's also more in depth.
