Ferman. SYNOPSIS: The first issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction appeared on the stands in the Fall of 1949 under the editorship of Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas. Under the continuing editorship of Robert Mills, Avram Davidson (his typewriter caprice Selectra Six-Ten appears in this volume) and now Edward L. Ferman it has published wide-ranging, imaginative, and unusual stories by all the great names of science fiction. For almost the same length of time Doubleday has annually published The Best from Fantasy and Science Fiction and with this the 19th Series (the first biennial volume) the excellence and variety of the previous volumes are maintained. Included in this volume is Sundance by Robert Silverberg in which he explores the reactions and problems of Tom Two Ribbons, a biologist spaceman, of American Indian descent, who is an uneasy member of an expedition formed to eliminate a "pest" on an alien planet. The Brief, Swinging Career of Dan and Judy Smythe by Carter Wilson has a certain wryness. When Dan and Judy answer an advertisement to participate in a Roman orgy, they don't expect a lion to be the guest of honour. Ron Goulart writes funny stories. Confessions is about mechanical dogs, Woodstock, an airborne house called Blackhawk Manor, Military Pills, naked bicycling, and a giant, shaggy Commando Killer. With twelve more stories by Robin Scott Wilson, Edgar Pangborn, Charles Runyon, Evelyn E. Smith, Barry N. Malzberg, Larry Niven, Avram Davidson, Theodore Sturgeon, Tony Morphett, Vance Aandahl, Robert Sheckley, Bruce McAllister, and six bizarre cartoons by Gahan Wilson The Best from Fantasy and Science Fiction Nineteenth Series is one of the best volumes in a continually fine, worthwhile series. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Gahan Wilson (illustrator). Ex-Library.

SYNOPSIS: Thirteen tales to stop the heart and unsettle the mind. This selection from the cream of one year's Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction demonstrates anew why that magazine - winner of the 1971 Hugo ward as the best s-f periodical - commands the devoted attention of fantasists, scientists, and just plain s-f enthusiasts everywhere. Included are: A spare, steely-fingered parable about an anthropologist who inadvertently discovers the meaning of the Apocalypse. A savagely deadpan account of a desperate (and funny) attempt to "unionize" against the worst Boss of them all. A melancholy idyll about a swimmer who, beneath the ocean's surface, undergoes a "sea change, rich and strange." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Meltzer (illustrator).
