I had lots of space books as a kid... there's a certain aesthetic from the late 1970ies that makes me nostalgic.

I wonder if there's a name for it or a collection of some of those book covers and art.

The art for the book OP mentioned was, IIRC, by a particular British artist. One sec... he was very prolific in the late 70s / 80s.

Nice! Yeah, some of those are what I'm thinking of. Not cartoony, nor particularly 'dated' looking like some stuff from, say, the 50ies.
