This is a compendium of old scifi tales, ranging from short stories to one novella. Of the dozen stories, I enjoyed 10 of them with only 2 being of a lesser interest. It was fun to go back and read (in some cases to re-read) some of this old stuff. These were written some 60 years ago and it is interesting to see what 'a look into the future' was to those old timers. I would recommend this collecion of tales to all who like classic scifi, and it should also be of interest to the newbies, as well. It was fun.
