Aliens and Alien Societies
A writer's guide to creating extraterrestrial life-forms
Author- Stanley Schmidt
Editor- Ben Bova
Publisher- Writer's Digest Books

I got this book for Christmas a couple years ago, and have only panned through it so far. One of these days, I'll actually sit down and read it :)

However, the parts I skimmed through are *real* interesting in developing alien characters and civilizations.

Anyone else seen/read this book?

Nope, this is the first I've heard of it. Sounds interesting, though...

Let us know how it is...

book review...
 

((Book review deleted...))

I found that the best discussion of how alien cultures and life forms might really be is in the "Contact" project. Look them up at this site:

I am in no way affilliated with these people...but I may go to visit next year's conference since it is close to me.

Sorry. Don't think this is the same book you're referring to. There are no pencil drawing in it.

No art at all, in fact.

No art? Hey, it's a book ... ;)

oops!
Then I retract my review. I will check this book out then.

Moved to the Writer's Block.
