Galactic Empires Vol. II
Aldiss, Brian W. Editor
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Morrow/Avon, 1979. Tight book. No spine lines or creases. Very slight cover rubs. "Stories of man's greatest interstellar quest by Blish, Budrays, Harrison, Van Gogt and more" Reviewer: A reader - I picked this book up at a used book sale intending to hold it in reserve for when I ran out of "better" reading material. Was I ever mistaken! This book is excellent! It consists of almost two dozen highly imaginative and downright mind-jarring tales of science fiction from mainly the 1950s and 60s. The first five are especially excellent. There isn't a bad one in the bunch and yet many of the authors have apparently become obscure since its publication.. ISBN: 0380428792. Tight book. No spine lines or Creases. Mass Market Paperback. Fine. FICTION SCIENCE GENERAL. ( more information)
