A Treasury of Science Fiction
Groff (Ed.) Conklin
Crown, 1948
The single best collection of sci fi stories ever
I want everyone to know what great science fiction short stories these are. They are gems, every single one. But read for yourself and decide. "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" is one of three or four best short stories ever written, in any genre.

The author gives a very interesting commentary/criticism which I feel adds much value to this book, not only as an anthology, but as a critical study ...
