PROLOGUE TO ANALOG
Edited by John W. Campbell Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1962. First edition (stated). Editor John W. Campbell has selected ten exceptional stories and novelettes from Astounding Science Fiction as a Prologue to Analog, representing the best authors and stories since 1953. Campbell starts the anthology with an eight-page introductory essay. Contents: Isaac Asimov--"Belief"; Christopher Anvil--"Pandora's Planet"; Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg--"Sound Decision"; H. Beam Piper--"Omnilingual"; J.F. Bone--"Triggerman"; Rick Raphael--"A Filbert is a Nut"; Ralph Williams--"Business As Usual, During Alterations"; Joseph P. Martino--"Pushbutton War"; Roger Kuykendall--"We Didn't Do Anything Wrong, Hardly"; and Eric Frank Russell--"Minor Ingredient". A relatively common anthology in the science fiction book club edition--BUT very scarce in the publisher's first edition. NOTE: We will place the dust jacket in a new clear Brodart sleeve to protect and enhance it's appearance. Easily removed if not desired. PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! |
