Painted Space is nicely put together, with large colour reproductions of many Berkey paintings.Just flipping through this book not only brings back pleasant memories of the films but also gives you the pleasure of seeing a true artist with an eye for the dramatic.A must for all Sci Fi fans.The text included is interesting, and gives a nice overview of his career.The more recent book "the art of John Berkey" by Jane Frank includes a different set of paintings and a detailed checklist of his works, so it is worth getting both books.
