Maplin catalogues

Is this the same Artist who did the sci-fi scenes for the Maplin Cataloges in the 80's?

Diary of a Spaceperson

This who sections seems to be very heavy on POV speculation, and should really be pared down to bthe purely descriptive. Nick Cooper (talk) 18:23, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary criticism?

"The illustrations have since become somewhat dated, mainly because of changes in hairstyles." Does this really need to be said? Wouldn't it be more notable if the hairstyles shown in a 1970s book were those of 40 years later? All pictures of people drawn in past decades or centuries show out-of-date hairstyles, but this is not normally considered notable. The Laughing Cavalier (1624) has a dreadfully old-fashioned haircut, but his Wikipedia article doesn't mention this. 95.150.93.103 (talk) 20:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Terran Trade Authority?

Chris Foss does not appear among the artist credits in the four original Terran Trade Authority books. I suspect the credit here is in error - can anyone provide a citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by James.porcher (talk • contribs) 02:24, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is the full name really "Christopher F. Foss"?

@The real Marcoman: You have added his full name Christoher F. Foss. But is this for certain his real name, and not a confusion with military book author Christopher F. Foss? You or anyone else, please clarify. --KnightMove (talk) 08:29, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, his legal name is Christopher F. Foss. See: Internet Speculative Fiction Database. --The real Marcoman (talk) 18:48, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
