I preface some comments with an apology; I'm in the print design field and so I'm visual. Indenting problems galore here, along with bullet issues, spacing, and overall formatting problems in the text... Photo selection is random and haphazardly placed in juxtaposition to the items they refer to. It's tough to follow, and there are inconsistencies in the nesting/hierarchy of the listed items. Many line items are missing. Bad editing, perhaps? If the author would have consulted Milton Courter (Frazetta Index Bonanza), who sort of paved the way for this project. I know Milton's project fell short in many areas as well, but his was easier to track and cross-reference. I'm sure with a little line of credit, he'd have been happy to offer anything willingly...Paperback catalog numbers are also poorly researched. For example, the NON F-Series later printings of the same title -- ie: Tanar of Pellucidar, has the true catalog number 79792 (the original catalog number in this revised series) -- NOT 79796-2 as published (I'm sure the author owned this particular reprinting, and didn't bother researching). Maybe with some of these things corrected [at reprint time?] I'd relax my stance on the randomized placement of images. In the author's defense, it's firstly a REFERENCE index and not an ART BOOK. The Art Books have been done in the form of the Underwood coffee tables books, and certainly the original Art of Frazetta series of 5 volumes. So, as a REFERENCE volume, it ought to be easy to use. Zines should be with zines. Comics should be with comics. Posters should be with posters. I think I understand why, say, in the Movies & Television section, there are references to soundtracks, Pressbooks and such -- they are ALL movie-related afterall. But it makes searching for things difficult.
