A title has been popping up often as I conduct my research for this column: The Science Fiction Hall of Fame: The Greatest Science Fiction Stories of All Time. Lester Del Rey is quoted on the front with an apt blurb: “Definitive! It even lives up to its subtitle.” The back of the book has a listing of the authors, and it’s a veritable who's who from the science fiction world of the mid-20th century. My battered copy of the book is a prized possession, and it’s considered an essential anthology for those interested in a primer of classic science fiction.
