THE SCIENCE FICTIONARY by Ed Naha
Published by Wideview books, 1980 * 388 pages * softcover
Science Fiction + dictionary = Science Fictionary. A-ha! This was Ed Naha's follow-up to his HORRORS FROM SCREEN TO SCREAM. The book is divided into 3 sections. The first one is the Films, at about 235 pages. This features almost all sci-fi, fantasy and some horror films until 1980; it includes stuff such as James Bond films. Naha usually offers a summary of the film's plot and not much in the way of commentary/opinion. Each entry also contains the production credits and main actors.Published by Wideview books, 1980 * 388 pages * softcover
The 2nd section is Television, at about 55 pages. This follows the same format, focusing on TV series, TV animated series and TV movies in the Sci-Fi vein. The 3rd section is titled Authors, at 70 pages, and offers brief bios & overviews of the most famed writers in science fiction. Finally, there's a back section on Awards, Magazines (a list of all those old ones which featured sci-fi stories) and Themes (a 2-page list).
There were both hardcover and softcover editions; I have the softcover. It's medium-sized, about 5"x 8" and one can get it on places like Amazon.com for a couple of bucks.
