The book shown here as “The Best of Sci-Fi 12” (Mayflower) was first published in the U.S. as simply “SF 12,” not “Best SF 12”; I have the Delacorte hardcover and the corresponding Dell paperback as well. Merril’s afterword gives some justification/explanation about the reasons for changing the name of the series from the previous form “The __th Annual of the Year’s Best SF” – if not actual portents that this would be the last of them.
