[dask]

Science Fiction By Gaslight edited by Sam Moskowitz. You wouldn't believe how cool these old stories are. Modernly written and mindboggling! Also, The World Beyond The Hill by Alexei and Cory Panshin. One of the very best books about science fiction that I've read. The section about H. G. Wells is a must if you've been following the Wells thread in the General Book Discussion forum.
