She knew her hand in marriage would be sold. She had no idea a fae prince was the buyer.

But her new husband makes not falling in love difficult.

Lost in Space Technical Handbook
The Lost in Space Technical Handbook is the culmination of decades of research by author/artist Ron Gross into the compelling hardware seen on the classic TV series Lost in Space. The brilliantly diverse hardware of the show is represented objectively, in a “studio production” type of format. Many original special effects “secrets” are now revealed. This new book, now a full 35+ years in the making, finally completes the three volume set devoted to Lost in Space and the other Irwin Allen TV properties as initially conceived by the author.There are a total of 50 technical blueprint views in this 160 page volume, some of which have been duplicated in a dramatic colored line-on-black scheme. The book covers the Jupiter 2, The Robot, The Chariot, the Space Pod, weaponry, and an assortment of accessory hardware. A final chapter also covers selected “alien” technology and related props. Finally, this officially licensed project has been augmented by Ron’s other supporting artwork, and selected contributions from well known artisans such as Bill Hedges, Tom Pfrogner (of “Collector’s Call” fame), and several others. It even includes a special chapter on custom scale modeling options based on the original studio props and plans.
The Lost in Space Technical Handbook is a companion volume to Ron Gross’s first two books on the Amazon platform, “Fantasy Worlds Beyond: The Irwin Allen Art of Ron Gross,” and “Lost in Space: The Initial Adventures.” Ron first became aware of Lost in Space at age eleven, when the first promo for the show was broadcast by CBS in the summer of 1965. Lost in Space continued to capture Ron’s imagination into adulthood, which resulted in various scratch-built modeling projects, and box cover art contributions to Irwin Allen-based model kits. Today Ron is officially licensed to create new graphic materials based on the Irwin Allen sci-fi television properties.
