Hutchison David. Starlog photo guidbook: Special Effects. Volume 2

New York: Starlog Press, 1980. — 100 p.When I was growing up in the 1970s, Starlog Magazine felt, without exaggeration, like a godsend. There were other quality genre magazines out there too, of course (like Fantastic Films…), but few which had possessed the longevity, stability and depth of coverage readers could find in Starlog. In the pre-Internet age, Starlog magazine was great for publishing news about upcoming science fiction films, television programs, and literature. Many correspondents for Starlog went on to successful and even award-winning writing careers, and the magazine featured great interviews, retrospectives, illustrations and cover art. It was also, most of the time, a damn good read. But there was another part of the Starlog Empire that I also loved for a different reason; for purposes of reference, you might say: The Photo Guidebooks. For many years, Starlog published a series of heavily illustrated books on specific genre-related topics.
