    Anyone have any of the great books by Stewart Cowley on Spacecraft, late 70s/early 80s? I had all of them but of course they are now gone. Will have to get on Ebay or Amazon to pick them up again.

    Great artwork, amazing spacecraft designs, and a pretty good story too.

    Here are 2 of them, anyone have these? @Ruralfarmboy @Star Dude have you seen these?

    Nope, also not on this side.

    But that look and feel reminds me a bit of those Poul Anderson ‘Dominic Flandry’ novels. Or the RPG sourcebooks for Space Master from Iron Crown Enterprises.

    The artwork and stories in this book were my favorite part of visiting the long gone library that I went as a kid. I used to go up to a small nook on the second floor near the window with it, which was my favorite book in the library. I finally own a copy and am showing it to my kid like I am unveiling a hidden gem.
