Hardcover (blue hardboard) with dustjacket. The illustrations appear to be from the 30s up through the early 60s. While the overview text is in Italian, individual illustrations are identified by their English titles.

The cover shows a large part of the drawing 'Earth's Last Citadel', for the story by C.L. Moore and Henry Kuttner. This drawing is reproduced in full in The Second Book of Virgil Finlay on page 73.
