When You Look Out the Window: How Phyllis Lyon and del Martin Built a Community by Gayle E. Pitman

3.0

As much as I think the back matter is important, the story part of this book doesn't work. It tells what SF was like, and how it's different now, but it doesn't give the SLIGHTEST indication of how Lyon and Martin made anything different or better. Their story deserves to be told, better.
Also, the artwork is beautiful but puzzling--colorful with collaged old papers, some of which refer to SF history, but I'm not sure why cutouts of black and white photos of people were included--they are from a much older era and confuse the timeframe.
Disappointing.
