Robert Silverberg. Nesfa Press, $25 (395pp) ISBN 978-1-886778-21-4

Continuing the 25-volume series begun by Isaac Asimov and Martin H. Greenberg in 1979, master anthologist Robert Silverberg teams up with the latter to offer Robert Silverberg Presents the Great SF Stories (1964). It was the year of Dr. Strangelove, the Tokyo Olympics and Lyndon Johnson's election to the presidency, and it was a great year for science fiction. Included in this collection of 15 stories are gems by Jack Vance, Frederik Pohl, Roger Zelazny and Ursula K. Le Guin.
