The cover claims spectacular 14th anniversary issue. Spectacular is overstating the case somewhat, given several average stories. However, certainly above average for these, and at 320 pages is basically a cheap book, so a good deal for length, absolutely, if you find this one second hand.

Egan, Kress, Robinson, Resnick all good. Asimov writes on suspense writing, but his story is the worst.
