Very good book, square, tight binding, no markings or blemishes.Fair to good dust-jacket now in mylar protective cover.No date in this edition but believe it's late 80's early 90's edition.
One of the greatest anthologies of science fiction stories.
Originally released in 1946 and rarely out of print.
Contains the source stories for some of the greatest science fiction films of all time; from "The Thing", "The Day the Earth Stood Still" to "The Incredible Shrinking Man"
A must have for any sci-fi enthusiast.
The book and A Treasury of Science Fiction were among the only science fiction hardcover books from large, mainstream publishers before about 1950. The large (997 page) anthology collected numerous stories from the Golden Age of Science Fiction, which had originally appeared in pulp magazines (mostly Astounding Science Fiction) and are now regarded as classics of science fiction. According to Frederik Pohl, it was "A colossal achievement...the book that started the science-fiction publishing industry!"In 1954, Anthony Boucher described it as "the one anthology unarguably essential to every reader." In Astounding readers' surveys in both 1952 and 1956, it was rated the best science fiction book ever published.
