This Great Book arrived quickly! Despite being 60+, it felt like Christmas opening the package. I was Very Surprised it is such a large size and I look forward to reading it Very Soon. Strangely, I have 'no plans' for tomorrow........!

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that I really really wanted for the show

UFO had to be my favourite after Scarlett but had so many questions for example what would happen after the interceptor fired It's missiles,surely it would be defenceless ,but I read somewhere that it had lasers , but why only 3Interceptors, I mean some of the science is nonesense for example if a ufo is detected the tracker announcing UFO speed SOL decimal 8 for example now SOL is speed of light ,so nothing but nothing will shoot it down in fact at that speed no one will see it, it tried hard with its science but in that topic only it couldn't work,My other fascination was sky diver a super sub that could go deep , a fighter in on It's front it could detach and act as a fighter and launch from the sea to go after a UFO ,it's really fast on the surface ,and has a nuclear reactor I often wondered how many crew it had . How many were in the fleet well sky diver 3 was destroyed by a human bomb ,and sky diver 1 was subsunk were there more, these questions were answered in this book including why the women on moon base wear purple wigsI might seem highly critical ,I m not I loved the show .....The book has shado history ,loads of pics and so on unfortunately there was only 1 season because season 2 that was planned became SPACE 1999

Lavishly created. Lot's of amazing illustrations, plans. Just everything you wanted to know on departments, vehicle's etc. I really like the retro feel of the book. It's simply superb. Definitely going to buy Space 1999 technical operations book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always good quality

I buy these Technical Operation Manuals for my husband, who's a big Gerry Anderson fan. They're generally full of little-known facts and little seen photos, and put together in a kind of 'in-world' way, a if the show was real life. The quality of the printing is always excellent, and the covers have a quality feel, with part-glossing to make them pop. I'd say a must for any UFO or Gerry Anderson fan really, and the perfect gift.

Enjoyed the book very much. Came quick. No issues with the seller.

人類の最高頭脳を結集して作られたSHADOのメカニック UFO 撃退の準備は出来た。

昨年度発売と言うことで購入したのだが、届いた本のハードカバーには、何かにぶつけてへこんでいる箇所が数ヶ所あった。 輸送用の外箱にも同じ場所に凹みがあるので、イギリスから送付途中で何かにぶつかって凹んだと想像がつくので、それについてはショップに文句はない。 であるが、外箱に全く損傷がない場所に本だけ大きく凹んでいる箇所があった。 これは梱包前に既に損傷を受けていた事を意味し、日本の本屋であれば良品交換を請求できるレベル。 安価なペーパーバックならまだしも、送料除きの本体価格でも約一万六千五百円強する高額書籍でこれはないと思う。 本の内容は星5つを喜んで付けますが、本屋さんの書籍に対する姿勢に疑問があるので、星4つとします。20230908追記海外購入者のレビューには アメリカなら50米ドルで買えるとあり。50米ドルで一万六千円はしないので、この出品者は転売やーに認定。US Boloで直接Bolo 出品品を購入した方が良い。ご参考まで。

和訳が欲しい

猫. · 16 July 2023

司令官室の非常脱出口について触れていなかったようなのが残念。ジョー90等、シリーズで出ているようなので全体としてある程度ニーズもあると思います。60年代前後のSFドラマを連続して出して欲しいです。そして何より和訳も欲しい。
