The Astounding Science Fiction Anthology

The Astounding Science Fiction Anthology is a selection of stories from Astounding Science Fiction, chosen by the magazine's longtime editor John W. Campbell Jr.. It was originally published in hardcover in 1952 by Simon & Schuster, and reprinted in various forms and editions over the next two decades. P. Schuyler Miller, reviewing the anthology in Astounding itself, noted that "none of these stories are dated [but] read as well today as they did when first published." He concluded that while the stories are "not the best stories" from the magazine, but were selected by Campbell because they "make a dynamic response to the need for change."
