Reference and inspiration (Patreon)

Working on the Weird-Field World book, I feel it's important to have some good reference to hand.

The Terran Trade Authority books (bottom four of the pile) are - if you don't know them - seminal sci-fi works from 1979/80. Full of incredible artwork from people like Peter Elson, Chris Foss, Jim Burns, Fred Gambino, and accompanying text from Stewart Crowley. 

The Universe (fifth from the top) was the first book I ever got about space. I was only about five years old and I saw it in a family friend's book club brochure. It was at least ten years too old for me, but I absolutely loved it - and still do. It is astonishingly out of date now, showing just how far our knowledge of space has moved on in the last forty years.

Apollo VII - XVII is a truly beautiful book. Remastered and beautifully printed original photos from the Apollo missions. *Drools*.
