[edit] Chris Foss

I haven't seen any of the new books but I have all four "classic series" books and I don't think any of them has any art by Chris Foss. Paul Tergeist 20:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Based on a quick scan through most of the art, I can't find any of his pieces (I didn't look at every pic, but enough that he's unlikely to be there, given that most of the artists have several pics in those books). I also looked at the only Galactic Encounters book I have, Aliens in Space.

Chris Foss is probably included in the list so often because he has a similar style to Elson, McKie, et al., and because there is a Chris (Chris Moore), so people conflate the two and get the impression that his stuff is there.

It's also possible that people who own these books also own other books collecting similar/the same art, such as Flights of Icarus (ISBN 0905895169), which does include some of Foss's work, along with several paintings that did appear in the TTA books.

(The other one I find that people usually include and then are surprised by is Peter Elson, as he didn't have any images in the first book. He did in the latter three, however.) -- Gregordyne 18:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ISBNs

If you are wondering, I did the ISBN links the way I did for the Morrigan books (i.e., using a piped "Special:Booksource" link instead of just putting the ISBN number in the text) in order to match the style used for the classic TTA and Galactic Encounters book sections, which often have several ISBNs. Including the numbers directly there could get pretty ugly without adding functionality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gregordyne (talk • contribs) 19:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC).
