 Book Reviews by Rowan Crawford
A very unusual book by one of the few masters of spaceship art, Chris Foss.
It's presented as the diary of a woman in the far future, filled with quick pencil sketches and fully rendered coloured art to accompany the diary entries.
The title of the book is a little confusing; Frank Frazetta Book One suggests that it's part of the book series that were published in the late 70's and early 80's which share a similar name (and also the same layout/design), but why it's called Book One instead of Book Six I can't understand.

 Boston.com / Travel / Toasting England's vintages
We met with Chris Foss, head of wine studies at the college, where the vast majority of England's wine producers have been trained.
Foss, who grew up in France's Bordeaux region, said the chief reason for the high quality of English sparkling wines, in particular, is the island's climate, which is extremely similar to that in the Champagne region of France.
Thanks to the crippling heat wave that blanketed Europe last summer, 2003 was likely go down as a banner year for English winemakers, he said.

 Sore Eyes: 21st Century Foss
The Chris Foss Picture Gallery takes me right back to my teens, when I was discovering new worlds by the week.
In the 70s and early 80s it seemed as if about 50% of the science fiction books I bought featured the huge, colourful machines visualised by Chris Foss on their cover.
Not that I was complaining: Foss got to me at an impressionable age and pretty well defined my notion of what a properly futuristic spaceship should look like.
