The blog itself seems like something for the BIFFmassa but this should be for everyone:

AWESOME find! 

Unless that guys is the actual author of that book, publishing copyrighted material on blogsites is wrong. Yes the images are amazing and yes I am sure people want to see them but nevertheless they are copyright material. I am sure friends share this kind of stuff on the internet but a blog sites are the wrong place to do it. 

It is out of print. Personally I do not have much sympathy for copyrighted material that is not even available for purchase anymore. If something like this keeps "collectors" from paying/receiving disgusting amounts of money for an original, then I would be glad. 

I pretty much agree - if it were still in print this would not stop me from purchasing a copy for myself. All it really does is allow people to see the material that they otherwise would not have access to because of the lack of availability. It's not as if we stole a book that was readily available to the masses. 

- this would not stop me from purchasing a copy for myself, it would make me more likely to purchase one for myself. The book looks good enough that I would want to own a copy.

For example, here at work we have a copy of The Art of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos - I can have access to it anytime I want, but I still own my own copy because it was such an awesome book. 

Cool photos here...

Specifically, click on Bannerman's Island. I swear there's a Quake level there. 

Nice find! 

yeah, holy fuck.

if glassman could make that map, I'd shit my pants.

especially if it had swimming fiends. 

has anyone seen the 'real themes' thing going on over at planetphillip? pretty cool

I run www.monsterbrains.blogspot.com and want it to be known that "S. Petersen's Field Guide To Cthulhu Monsters, 1988" has been out of print for 22 years. Because of that fact I felt more than comfortable posting the majority of that book on the blog. It is better to be seen than not. However I do have an open invitation on the blog for any copyright holders of any works posted on the blog to contact me if materials posted are against their wishes. 

i think it was great that you shared such a rare and difficult to obtain work. this is completely different than if the book was only a couple of years old and still easily available in bookstores. 

Thanks.

I got some weird blocking on some of the images though - might just have been my firewall but was unable to view some of them. Specifically I wanted to grab all the jpegs for backup.

Do you have a zipped archive uploaded anywhere?

Can understand if that's not in your interest to provide, just thought I'd ask. 

It seems the same images appear only partially - maybe half of them. 

but pretty interesting anyway

especially the 1st one, jesus! 

... the Jesse Van Dijk who made the runner's delight episode? Seems like it. Small world... 

Woah, nice catch! Yes, that is him.

Now, how do we get him (and fs-razor and who else is an uber-artist in the (ex-)Quake-scene) to make some Quake speedpaintings as concept art for mappery...
