Science Fiction Anothologies

My newest acquisition...

Far Horizons
Anthology of 11 science fiction short stories or novellas by major authors, who also provide introductions and sometimes afterwords for the stories; it is edited by Robert Silverberg. All of the stories make their first appearance in Far Horizons, but none is truly "original" in a sense, as they are all set in one of the particular author's most popular tried and true fictional universes. The idea was to perhaps cross introduce readers of one writer to the other authors and popular universes—in a word, marketing—grass roots style.
