and other top SF authors.

Contents:

The Malley System by Miriam Allen deFord
A Toy For Juliette by Robert Bloch
The Prowler In The City At The Edge Of The World by Harlan Ellison
The Night That All Time Broke Out by Brian W. Aldiss.

I want to rant about the fact that the bookshop I bought these from felt the need to scrawl the price on the front cover with a permanent marker, that's overkill, surely. Usually a pencil scribble on the inside front cover does the trick.
