Read morePraise the SFFWA for keeping up an anthology marking their annual awards for over half a century.
Shelved with the now-usual nostalgic sigh for when these volumes where choc full of great SF..
Read moreNot that much in terms of a coverage of the best SF in short form. Onto the shelves with the volume.
Read moreAll the short story nominees, just the winners in the novella and novelette categories, so not a heap of short SF by any means.
Read moreSucceeds in presenting what the members of SFFWA voted for in their ballot for the best science fiction and fantasy of the year in question.
Read moreAnother excellent anthology, full of top quality SFF…
Read moreThe three short SFF winners, two runners-up, a Gene Wolfe story, and two stories masquerading as poetry.
Read moreWith a lovely cover design by Grace M. Conti-Zilsberger, and illustration by Julie Dillon, this fat beauty has a lot of excellent fiction. And poems. And non-fiction.
Read moreA handsome book with some excellent, average and so-so SF that is going to sit nicely against the 44 previous volumes on my groaning bookshelves.
Read moreA great book – full of the fiction which the SFWA honoured
Read moreEven with three of the really good stories of 2007/2008 instead of the three chosen, there wouldn’t be whole lot of bang for your buck if it’s just a read of good SF that you’re after.
Read moreThe latest volume in the handsome Nebula Award series is in the extremely capable hands of Ellen Datlow, and a publisher who knows how to present a book to extremely good effect.
Read moreThere’s a lot in here, as usual, with the Kelly story giving lots of SF bang-for-buck : if you haven’t read ‘Burn’ yet, then this is your chance so to do, and get some other high quality reading, and the professional writer’s take on what the 3 years leading up to 2008 meant to them.
Read moreA must for anyone seriously into short SF, but if only the SFFWA could tighten up the rules to choose material from a given calendar year, and pick some more Science Fiction!
Read moreAs with recent issues, a handsome book to mark the Nebulas, although the stories themselves aren’t going to echo down the SF Hall of Fame in generations to come.
Read moreJack Dann picks up the editorial reins from Vonda N. McIntyre in the Nebula Awards Showcase series. There’s a lot of high quality fiction in this volume, and the only real beef is that the stories are from 2002, which means that in a number of cases you are reading stories which appeared in the Year’s Best anthologies two years ago.
Read moreI can recommend this year’s ‘Showcase’ as being chock full of good stuff – a marked improvement over last year’s issue which didn’t have a whole lot of fiction in it to read
Read moreA handsome volume, but in terms of capturing the Year’s Best – not a patch on Dozois, Hartwell or Silverberg.
Read moreA nice volume to own – make sure that the nice white cover doesn’t get dirty though!
Read moreAll in all, and excellent volume – one which I would be happy to give to anyone who is sniffy about SF, confident that there is a lot of mature, high quality (science) fiction therein.

Read moreEleven uniformly excellent stories, covering most topics you might expect to see : time travel, far future, virtual reality, New Wave, and fantasy. What is perhaps of note is the lack of ‘hard SF’, and the extent to which so many of the stories are fundamentally about humanity, about people.
Read moreThe first in a l-o-n-g running series.
