This little book has become somewhat of an inspiration to sci-fi creators ever since it's publication, and shows such as Babylon 5 borrowed more than a few ideas from within these pages (as admitted in one of the DVD extras); not directly, but more as an example of how to imagine life-forms that were not simply 'humanoid men in a masks' - although a fair bit of this obviously does still exist in both.
There is also a nice fold-out comparative size chart in the middle of the book, and a 30 page folio of pencil drawings, at the back, taken directly from Wayne Douglas Barlowe's sketch book from 1979, which I found to be a lot more dynamic than his finished pieces which could often appear a little too posed.
I have created a helpful list by [Creature (book title) - author] which I hope will be well received by readers.
