A lovely copy of the first of Edmund Crispin’s celebrated sci-fi anthologies issued by Faber in the striking Berthold Wolpe-designed dust jacket.
When first published, the collection “was unique in several ways: its editor was a respected literary figure; its publisher was a prestigious one; and it made no apologies or excuses for presenting sf as a legitimate form of writing” (The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction).
Includes stories by Katherine Maclean, John Wyndham, Ray Bradbury and James Blish.
