Why read it?
1 author picked The Very Best of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Volume 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ray Bradbury and I share birthdays, so I wanted to include him, and he is one of the greats included in this anthology. It also features Philip K. Dick, Stephen King, Roger Zelazny, Ursula K.

From Sally's list on speculative fiction authors every sci fi author needs to read.
