Me! Me!
I love these books - and British "Big Spaceship" art in general. But I'm particularly fond of the TTA books because they were where I first encountered the art of the late Peter Elson.
There's some good examples of his stuff in "Great Space Battles" - page 18/19 ("LG 223 Starraker") and page 45 ("mobile monitor station orbiting Mars") are particular favourites. There's also some excellent work by Angus McKie, Jim Burns, and others.
Here's a site I'm building (slowly) with other examples of Elson's work:

Also, there's a new Terran Trade Authority RPG book out - but (because of rights issues) it uses CGI recreations of the original artwork. (From what I've seen the recreations are very well done, though.)
