Collecting Science Fiction Books

Groff Conklin (1904-1968) was one of our best anthologists, and Treasury, his second, was one of his best anthologies. . . .

The Treasury stories were written before I was born; of their day I am no deep student; they carry no nostalgia for me; the best of them are delicious for their own sake,

and although this is quite sufficient, to enjoy it now that we are different broadens the mind.

Collected here are several stories from the great names of Science Fiction.

Featuring works by classics, such as Clarke, del Ray, and Poul Anderson, this collection is a must for fans of science fiction, or those interested in reading the original source material for existing and upcoming science

fiction films.

Recommended for someone wishing to get a broad overview of Sci-Fi without having to read a lot of books.

There is really only one word for this collection: Pulptastic. Sure, it's full of classic authors, but these are classic *pulp* authors. Which is not to say the stories aren't fun - for the most part they're fun as hell. As long as you don't mind cardboard characters, rather amusing ideas about

what constitutes "science," and a strong post-war American patriotism. It's a fine collection of what it is, but what it is is stories that were old when this anthology was published, nearly fifty years ago.
