According to the book, the last Year's Best Carr did, passing away soon afterwards. It also says he 'went back to best science fiction and fantasy' for this volume. Depends how you squint at it, but I'd call three of the stories fantasy, and depends what you personally would like to call Tarzan or hominids running around for a couple of others.

So, fantasy part averages 3.00, the sf, 3.88.

There's a short overview of the year in books, movies, and even book deals, with a recommended reading list afterwards.
