One of the wonderful things about "old-school" science fiction is the wondeful cover art. Sometimes realistic, sometimes inspiring, sometimes lurid, and always eye-catching, how often do we measure current progress against visions of the future from the 1940's and 1950's (where's my flying car, damnit)?
If you have a week or two to take a trip down memory lane (and find some roads you never even knew existed), check out VISCO, the Visual Index of Science Fiction Cover Art.
And, for a wonderful way to randomly browse covers quickly, check out Jim Bumgardner's CoverPop of SF cover art.
