Striking illustrations. Good font size. A pleasure to hold and read. Sits well next to 'Rendezvous with Rama'. Now, for 'Childhood's End' and 'The City and the Stars' to complete his more obvious/best works in a Folio format.

FANTASTIC cover design, highly evocative not just of the story, but the genre as a whole. This is a sci-fi collector’s dream edition.

Absolutely beautiful. I echo everyone who has said the silver cover would have been cooler in black or with the special effects of the last 20 minutes of the film as the silver tarnishes but apart from that worth the money

This is a beautiful rendition of a classic work of science fiction. Gorgeous font with stunning illustrations, this has a proud place in my collection. I only have one niggle and that is the silver sleeve the book is kept in. The silver wears off very easy so looks very tatty very quickly. It would have been far better with a jet black sleeve as this would also have reflected the monoliths in the story. This is only a minor gripe as the book itself is stunning.

Strange how much in this book that’s recently found to be true. The mega structure on mars moon Phobos being The latest to be seen by passing probes.
