Books: Index

Books and magazines featuring the artwork of, or by, Boris Vallejo ordered by date of publication. I have refrained, unless there is only one instance of these, from giving the ISBN or publisher since these vary from country to country and, indeed, edition to edition. Should you need this information I suggest you check at www.amazon.com (or whichever regional page relates to you.)

Several books are not included in this list:

• 1995 Boris Vallejo 3D Magic a collection of Magic Eye 3D images based on paintings by Boris.
• 1996 Bodies is a book of photographs, many used as reference material for paintings by Boris or by Julie Bell. Since my interest is in his artwork, I don't have a copy and I do not cover this book here.
• 1998 Hindsight a collection of Boris' photographic work featuring the female derriere.
• 2006 The Fantasy of Flowers a collection of Boris and Julie's flower photographs accompanied with poetry.

The first book only features adulterated images of Boris' artwork whilst the other three do not include any artwork at all so none of them warrant inclusion in this site.

Many of the books featured here include other illustrations: Boris at work, paintings in varying states of completion, very rough design sketches etc. Whilst doubtless of interest these are not within the remit of this site so have, except for a few instances, been omitted. In any case, I do not think the publishers would be very pleased at the wholesale reproduction of their products.

Finally a word about Collected Works: Boris Vallejo – this was a Friedlander Publishing Group (FPG) title which, if Amazon is to be believed, was published in June 1997. In fact publication was deferred beyond that date several times and FPG actually ceased trading before the final release date (December 1998) was reached which leads me to conclude that the book was never published (but the possibility exists that it was published as one of the other books listed below…)
