History, Ideas and Dreams, in Science Fiction
Because of Mr David A Kyle’s association with Gnome Press, I took a bit of an interest in his subsequent activities in books and publishing. Two items of real interest to me were a couple of unusual books he put out in the mid ’70s – A Pictorial History of Science Fiction and The Illustrated Book of Science Fiction Ideas and Dreams.
I picked up the Pictorial History a couple of years ago, and have been hunting for a decent copy of the latter. Proudly, a couple of days ago I snared a signed copy of SF Ideas and Dreams. These are oversize books packed with illustrations and content. I’ll do a pictorial feature and comment a little more on these two when the recent purchase arrives. In the meantime, click each image to check out reviews. Enjoy.

Hi I loved the fact that you enjoyed the Kyle books and mentioned them here. I received these from a friend who was downsizing and the articles and illustrations in these books really encouraged me to expand my collection, mostly Arkham House at the time, to include many SF pulps and other small press books.
Happy Reading
