I enjoyed this book immensely.  The stories were all excellent and well chosen, and save for one 'The Slizzlers' flowed reasonably well.  There are a few mispelled words in this collection that the editor missed.  Most of them are few and far between and you can make out what the word was suppose to be when reading.  Still the collection lost a star for that issue as well as the fact that two of the stories, THE SWORDSMEN OF VARNIS and KEEP OUT, had been included in previous volumes of this series.  While enjoyable stories, you'd think that the publisher could provide a collection that didn't repeat stories that they had published before.Overall this series was good.  Several of the stories were quite humourous, such as GRANDPA?, by Edward M. Lerner,TO ERR IS INHUMAN, by Marion Zimmer Bradley. WHY I LEFT HARRY’S ALL-NIGHT HAMBURGERS, by Lawrence Watt-Evans, GALACTIC CHEST, by Clifford D. Simak, and DO UNTO OTHERS, by Mark Clifton while still being thought provoking.  Others like MOON DOG by Arthur C. Clarke were very touching and of course there were some extremely good classic style sci/fi such as SARGASSO OF LOST STARSHIPS, by Poul Anderson, THE TIME DISSOLVER, by Jerry Sohl, and A BRIEF DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES, by Michael Kurland.I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves classic sci/fi.  It is a great read for a great price.
