TOC

[edit]

the table of contents listed the authors of the "deep probe" essays. how is that not relevant? with the section gone, no one will know it was added. why not move the TOC here, and let someone else remove the chapter info and just list the essay authors.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:10, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

heres the TOC, i think just listing the authors would be relevant:

Table of contents

[edit]
In 99.9 cases out of a hundred, tables of contents are completely useless, and it improves book articles to remove them. There are really very few cases indeed - dealing with books of great historical importance, where the individual chapters have received detailed commentary - where one could justify making an exception. The Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction is not one of those books. I agree that mentioning the authors represented in the book would be helpful.
