Australian SF Reader 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
It is pretty much the only one, and how likely is it another one of these gets published? Well, there is one 'overview' style book, too, but that is very expensive. If you ever see this cheap, don't hesitate, that is for sure.
Otherwise, if you can find it, just get it, it is basically invaluable, and I pull it out frequently, and have used it in more than one project. The first time I saw this, I was quite surprised that something like this book had even come into existence.
Editorial Review:
Science fiction and fantasy are among the most popular of all literary genres, but until now Australia has had no work that records the depths and significance of its contribution. This unique and comprehensive book will become the standard reference for students, both Australian and international, of the rapidly-growing genre of Australian science fiction and fantasy.
Entries cover authors, book and story titles, important fanzines, important sub-genres and works published electronically. It categorises works for adults, young adults and children and includes essays and articles by distinguished Australian scholars and writers in the field.
