excellent reference guide to everything 20th century fantasy. so many books are included in here that you are sure to find ones you never heard of before and it's fun to read about books you already love. because of this book my to-read list has grown a whole heck of a lot longer.
A nice (if coffee-table size) collection of fantasy novel covers, with due diligence given to the various genres that evolved throughout the 20th century.
