Grand Master Jack Williamson passed away last year at the age of 98, but the ambitious program to collect his short fiction continues. Of the 10 tales in this collection (three of which are full-length novels!) over half have never been reprinted before. Featured is the first book appearance of the original novella-length version of "Darker Than You Think," and the magazine texts of "The Reign of Wizardry," and "Gateway to Paradise." Williamson's afterword has his recollections on the genesis of these tales and the pre-World War II science fiction field. Like previous volumes in this series, the full-color endpapers reproduce the original magazine covers (with artwork by pulp masters including Belarski, Cartier, Rogers and Scott) of the stories herein, and the binding is designed to match the 1940s editions of Williamson's works published by Fantasy Press. Several volumes in this series are already out of print, so make sure to reserve your copy to avoid disappointment.
