From a literary perspective, this will certainly be the best collection of the year in science fiction and fantasy. Gene Wolfe, of whom the "Washington Post" said, 'of all SF writers currently active none is held in higher esteem', has selected the short fiction he considers his finest into one volume. There are many award winners and many that have been selected for various Year's Best anthologies among the thirty-one stories, which include: "Petting Zoo," "The Tree Is My Hat," "The Island of Dr. Death and Other Stories," "The Hero as Werewolf," "Seven American Nights," "The Fifth Head of Cerberus," "The Detective of Dreams," and "A Cabin on the Coast." Gene Wolfe has produced possibly the finest and most significant body of short fiction in the SF and fantasy field in the last fifty years, and is certainly among the greatest living writers to emerge from the genres. This is the first retrospective collection of his entire career. It is for the ages.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. The book has sound hinges and does not lean. Pages are clean with no creases, wrinkles or stains. The cover corners are not bumped and there is no rubbing to extremities. The book's only flaw is that there are a few spots at the top of the spine where they gray cloth is a little lighter. Not sure why. The rest of the covers and spine are spotless. The dust jacket is just-like-new and has been placed in a clear archival sleeve to keep it in pristine condition.
