- Quarto, 11 inches high by 9-1/4 inches wide. Softcover, spiral bound silver wraps titled in blind and white on the front cover. The front edges of the covers are slightly chipped and the front cover is heavily creased. 52 pages, each printed on one side only, consisting of 3 pages printed on light gray stock with the first being on Omni letterhead and with Omni embossed in silver at top left of the next 2 pages. These first 3 pages of the prospectus introduce the concept behind the idea together with the "Marketing Advantages Which Omni Will Provide". These are followed by 49 pages, mechanically reproduced from the periodicals in which they were originally published, of the stories which Bova hopes to include in the book. These pages include reproductions of the illustrations which accompanied the stories. There is some light creasing to the first page, else an internally bright and near fine prospectus in good covers. In his introduction to the prospectus, Ben Bova writes: "In the ten years I have been editing science fiction, first at Analog and now at Omni, dozens of stories I bought have won Hugo, Nebula, and other awards. I have been fortunate enought [sic] to 'discover' many major new writers such as Orson Scott Card, Spider Robinson, George R. R. Martin, Robert Forward, and others. Yet there have been some stories (and writers) which I liked as much as any prize-winner, yet for some reason or another, never attracted the attention they deserved from the science fiction audience."The prospectus includes excerpts from Walter Tevis' "Rent Control", Alfred Bester's "MS Found in a Coconut", James Gunn's "Fault", Paul J. Nahin's "The Reunion", John Morressy's "The Last Jerry Fagin Show", etc.…
