Along with my love of old science fiction, comes a love of old science fiction art. Here's a wonderful site that features many of the covers of the classic SF magazines Astounding and Amazing.
Take a look around the site. They have other excellent pages devoted to Kelly Freas and many other subjects.
Good stuff. I could stare at these for hours.
Addendum: Ah, the internet. All those links are now dead. As alternatives, how about:
Astounding Science Fiction.
Amazing Stories, here or here.
Kelly Freas.
These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

Now This Looks Interesting...
If you know me, or if you've read far enough into the posts here, you know I have a certain fondness for young adult science fiction (what we used to call "juneviles").
The problem is I'll often remember part of a plot--or even just a picture.
Now there's a site called Stump the Bookseller. Loganberry Books of Cleveland allows you to post questions, descriptions, etc., on their site of a book you are looking for. If the proprietor can't help you, maybe one of the members of the community can.
The service costs $2.00, but if you're awake at nights, trying to figure out who wrote that favorite book from your childhood, it might be worth it!
