This striking hardback collection brings together over 40 classic short stories by masters of the science fiction genre, presented with silver cover accents and illustrated page edges.

From Victorians experimenting with time travel to pioneers exploring the depths of space, the stories collected here are a tribute to the imagination. This collection features forty-four of the best works of short fiction by the inventors of the modern science fiction genre. Some tales are filled with boundless optimism for the ingenuity of humanity while others provide fearful warnings of the risks of war and the dangers of technology.

Review: Outstanding collection of SF short stories - This was a gift, so the review of the quality of the book is from the individual to whom I sent this. They said the quality was outstanding. Very well made hard-bound book, with a nice cover. I looked through the short stories included, and it is a very well curated collection of enjoyable well-written short stories. It's not for you if you are not a fan of short stories, fiction, or science fiction. So don't buy it and give a bad review because you didn't like the stories. Review: Great book- binding slightly flimsy - Really beautiful book. Great choices for the authors and stories. My only complaint is that the binding feels a little flimsy. I worry it may not be sturdy and will end up broken

Was a present for my friend’s 12 year old son. He was delighted with it! If it’s your sort of thing then I guess you’d love it!
