As with all anthologies, levels of craft are mixed, but all are at or above average in substance and style, as is to be expected from a selection of the best stories published in the Galaxy magazine over the years 1956-1958.
Some are serious, some are humorous; some are prescient, some misfired a bit.
Contents: I Am a Nucleus (Stephen Barr) - bad luck magnet, satire, liked this one a lot; Name Your Symptom (Jim Harmon) - psychotherapy; Horrer Howce (Margaret St. Clair): Man of Distinction (Michael Shaara) - genealogy; The Bomb in the Bathtub (Thomas N. Scortia) - satire; You Were Right, Joe (J. T. McIntosh) - humorous time travel, liked this one; What's He Doing in There? (Fritz Leiber); The Gentlest Unpeople (Frederik Pohl); The Hated (Paul Flehr); Kill Me with Kindness (Richard Wilson); Or All the Seas with Oysters (Avram Davidson); The Gun Without a Bang (Finn O'Donnevan) - satire, liked this one (also read it elsewhere); Man in a Quandary (L. J. Stecher, Jr.); Blank Form (Arthur Sellings); The Minimum Man (Robert Sheckley). ( )

I often look for books that I read as library books long ago. I was happy to find this one, which contains some old favorites (and some that haven't really stood the test of time).

This worth reading again (or for the first time) for the Avram Davison story alone, and there's plenty of other things in here as well. It's like running into an old friend you haven't seen in years. Time to catch up. ( )
