This contains some of the marvels of those thirty years. Many of them are marvels of the last century as well. They are:

Poor Little Warrior; Brian Aldiss (1958)
Dreaming is a Private Thing; Isaac Asimov (1955)
Fondly Fahrenheit; Alfred Bester (1954)
The Quest for Saint Aquin; Anthony Boucher (1951)
The Gnurrs Come From the VoodVork Out; R. Bretnor (1950)
Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot; Grendel Briarton (1956)
Selectra Six-Ten; Avram Davidson (1970)
We Can Remember It For You Wholesale; Philip K. Dick (1966)
Problems of Creativeness; Thomas M. Disch (1967)
Jeffty is Five; Harlan Ellison (1977)
Ararat; Zenna Hendorson (1952)
One Ordinary Day, With Peanuts; Shirley Jackson (1954)
Flowers For Algernon; Daniel Keyes (1959)
Not With A Bang; show more Damon Knight (1950)

...And Now The News; Theodore Sturgeon (1956)
The Women Men Don't See; James Tiptree, Jr (1973)
Three Cartoons; Gahan Wilson (1965, 1966, 1974)
Love Letter From Mars; John Ciardi (1964)
Me; Hilbert Schenck, Jr (1959)
Imaginary Numbers in a Real Garden; Gerald Jonas (1965)
Dance Music for a Gone Planet; Sonya Dorman (1968)

It's quite amazing to realize I read nearly all of these in the original, and so long ago. Some of these were the first entry into the marketplace by the author; others were by people not associated otherwise with the field. On the whole, it's an excellent addition to my library.
