After reading through this book, I found that it was as complete a guide to Science Fiction as any previously read. The book is well laid out and the subject matter is complete and accurate. This manual is a "Must Have" for any Science Fiction buff, or any organization that needs to answer questions regarding the various subjects within the Science Fiction world. The various subsections dealing with different genre make this book capable of guiding the reader to any style of Science Fiction someone would want. Congratulations to Mr. Buker on a fine writing and hopefully we will see a second edition soon.
