Thirty-some years the Easton Press was issuing their Signed Fiirst Editions of Science Fiction. I actually read less than half of the volumes they sent to me, but every once in a while when I'm looking for something to read I'll grab one of those. I grabbed this one more-or-less at random from one of the bookcases in my house. It's okay, but I'm not surprised it didn't win any Hugo or Nebula awards. But hey, you've got to take some chances to find the really good ones.
