The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One 1929–1964: The Greatest Science Fiction Stories of All Time Chosen by the Members of the Science Fiction by Robert Silverberg
5.0
This series is in three volumes, cunningly called “Volume 1″, “Volume 2A” and “Volume 2B”. (The second volume was split into two physical book for publication.) That makes this article the first of a series of… I’ll play it save and say “a bunch”. It seems appropriate to split up this review in particular.
In 1965, the Science Fiction Writers of America started giving out the Nebula Awards. They published this anthology and its companion volume(s) by way of recognizing pre-1965 work that the membership thought was exceptional.
I read this book and its siblings in the seventies; the stories seem better in some ways, particularly the more sophisticated prose. A few stories haven’t ages all that well.
Story-by-story reviews (part 1) are here, I'm currently working on part 2.
