Clearly a momentous time for the SF community, as the cover proudly proclaims ‘Special Section : Science-Fiction becomes Science-Fact – Sputnik and Beyond’.
This volume, unlike this first two, contains a number of articles alongside the fiction, which is a shame as it isn’t a particular big volume, so there is much less by way of fiction. The volume I’ve got, some 60 years after publication, is pristine : it clearly hasn’t been read. I’ll have to see about that… Here’s the content list in the meantime.
