This is a collection of 8 stort stories written by Heinlein between 1939 and 1959. The stories are: Lifeline, The Roads Must Roll, And He Built a Crooked House, The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, The Green Hills of Earth, The long Watch, The Man Who Sold the Moon, and All You Zombies. Good stuff! But calling it the "best" might be a streach. Doesn't have as much of the humour as some of his later works, like Friday and The Cat who Walks Through Walls. It is interesting to see how he imagined future events, some which have now transpired. A fun read.

While I did not purchase this collection, I have read all the stories, and all are classics. There is a better collection of heinlein work though, if you're willing to look. There is a collection titled "The Past Through Tomorrow". It is a collection that includes a Heinlein timeline and such great stories as "the Man who sold the moon" and "All You Zombies". I found mine at a local second hand store. If you're a diehard Heinlein fan, I highly recommend it, as it is well put together.

I would like to know exactly what this title is! Is it a collection of Heinlein's stories? If so which stories are in it.

The first reveiwer is right; a description would definitely be apreciated. Mr. Heinlein has written scores of excellent novels, many of which can be considered some of his best works. If you want people to buy this book, then you need to let them know what they are buying.

Read this book or I will strangle your parakeet! Smmoches JungleKath

This is a great book, however, junglekath sounds like a fruitloop. I hope her eyes are put out with a hot poker and she reads, and more importantly, reviews no more
