"The editors have cleverly used blocks of grey text throughout the
book to separate the editorial voice from documents by other
authors, and tools such as the Table of Contents, the Chronology,
and the Directory of Figures make negotiating the information in
the text much easier."
-Sharon Emerichs, University of Missouri-Columbia, "Science Fiction
Studies, 2005
