Fantastic concept, much like what I hoped the GR group "Evolution of SF" would have done. But the stories mainly are not that great. At least a couple of them are funny (Poe's King Pest and de Camp's The Blue Giraffe). Enough are interesting enough that I'm rounding up to four stars and to recommending it if you can find a copy (mine was at the university).
I would like to see an updated book, or at least ToC for a possible one... would make a good project for someone. Maybe one of you?
