Dang. Saved this for years, as a sort of 'treat.' But when I finally made time for it, I realize it's too dated even by my standards, and that Ackerman and I just don't have common tastes or interests. I hope that someone on paperbackswap.com (or one of you) are interested in it as a bit of SF history; I look forward to shipping it (free) to a new home.

I have always enjoyed short story collections, especially science fiction or fantasy. This collection is interesting in that I had not heard of many of the included writers. Forest J Ackerman selected stories from the first ten years of his love of science fiction (1926-1936). These pieces were not always the best known and in some cases have never been reprinted after being in the old pulp magazines. It has definitely turned me on to some authors that I hope to read more of. (
