Before Clute's and Grant's follow-up to this volume, their "ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION" set newer and higher standards in both bibliographical research (with both books and science fiction film) and affordability of such material to the English-speaking reading public worldwide. If you can't begin to read or watch sci-fi literature, movies, or television because of a lack of referential "starting points," then by all means, borrow or buy this book.
You'll be overjoyed (if not initially overwhelmed) that you did.
