Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

One of the beautiful things about a delusion is that no matter how mad someone gets at it ... he can't do it any harm. Therefore a delusion can be a fine thing for prodding angry belligerents....

Book Description
Engaged, passionate, and consistently entertaining, this is a book for those who enjoyed Walton's previous collection of essays from Tor.com, the Locus Award-winning What Makes This Book So Great.The Hugo Awards, named after pioneer science fiction publisher Hugo Gernsback, and voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Society, have been given out since 1953. They are widely considered the most prestigious award in science fiction.Between 2010 and 2013, Jo Walton wrote a series of posts for Tor.com, surveying the Hugo finalists and winners from the award's inception up to the year 2000. Her contention was that each year's full set of finalists generally tells a meaningful story about the state of science fiction at that time.Walton's cheerfully opinionated and vastly well-informed posts provoked valuable conversation among the field's historians. Now these posts, lightly revised, have been gathered into this book, along with a small selection of the comments posted by SF luminaries such as Rich Horton, Gardner Dozois, and the late David G. Hartwell.

Book Description
Surfing the New Wave Containing 19 pieces of fiction, Rediscovery Volume 3 is particularly resonant with pieces like Sonya Dorman’s “The Deepest Blue in the World”, a prototype for The Handmaid’s Tale. And Pam Zoline’s “The Heat Death of the Universe”, which fused the New Wave and feminist science fiction. And Hilary Bailey’s alternate history masterpiece, set in a Nazi-conquered (but not subdued!) England, “The Fall of Frenchy Steiner”. With a host of Afterwords by luminaries from Seanan McGuire to Marie Vibbert, as well as a number by relatives of the authors, Rediscovery Volume 3 will be an indispensable part of every library, whether you’re a casual SF fan or a rarefied scholar!

'Partners in Wonder' explores our knowledge of women and science fiction between 1936 and 1965. It describes the distinctly different form of science fiction that females produced, one that was both more utopian and more empathetic than that of their male counterparts.
