Notes:

"The greatest science fiction stories of all time chosen by the members of the Science Fiction Writers of America." "A Tom Doherty Associates Book." "The definitive collection of the best in science fiction stories between 1929-1964. The book you now hold contains twenty-six of the greatest science fiction stories ever written. They represent the considered verdict of the Science Fiction Writers of America, those who have shaped the genre and who know, more intimately than anyone else, what the criteria for excellence in the field should be. The authors chosen for The Science Fiction Hall Fame are the men and women who have shaped the body and heart of modern science fiction ; their brilliantly imaginative creations continue to inspire and astound new generations of writers and fans. Originally published in 1970 to honor those writers and their stories that had come before the institution of the Nebula Awards, The Science Fiction Hall Of Fame, Volume One, was the book that introduced tens of thousands of young readers to the wonders of science fiction. Too long unavailable, this new edition will be treasured by all science fiction fans everywhere."--taken from back cover.
