    Same artist that did the Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Album, which is probably the best-looking old-school D&D book of all.

    Do you know if that was published by this same Bellerophon company?

    And what a nice surprise there's a D&D connection. Excellent.

    Casey G. It was published by Bellerophon, and it's fantastic. It's also written by Gary Gygax and gives one an interesting look at what an old-style dungeon crawl was like (i.e. a huge party of characters out for treasure, lots of death and running away).

First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned.

Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
