Review: Book binding is poor quality - the cover of my copy split in the mail. Quality of the stories is very mixed. The story chosen for Iain M Banks for example is probably the weakest piece of writing of his that I've ever read, and not a good introduction to either him or the Culture series. Yet it is one of the more readable works in this book. Same with Connie Willis and Gene Wolfe. The HG Wells story is drivel. Maybe the editors kept costs down by reprinting crappier stories... Maybe they just wanted to insult the greats. Not worth your time or money, and please don't use this book to introduce anyone to sci-fi. They'll be forever put off!
