Reviews

" ... a fascimile of the first English-language edition, complete with original illustrations by various hands ... with a new Silverberg introduction ... Flammarion's works have been very hard to obtain in English in recent decades, so we are pleased to receive this one ... these handsomely-produced Bison Books reprints of old sf are building up into a useful series, well worth looking out for." -- interzone, November 1999
