Edward Groff Conklin (September 6, 1904, Glen Ridge, New Jersey - July 19, 1968, Pawling, New York) was a leading science fiction anthologist. Conklin edited 41 anthologies of science fiction, wrote books on home improvement and was a freelance writer on scientific subjects. From 1950 to 1955, he was the book critic for Galaxy Science Fiction.
I love this book, it has been on my book shelves (nicked from my Dad's) for nearly 20 years. Presently re reading it at the moment, flicking between The Wrong World, Out of Step and Short Stack. Need to find a better copy as mine is beginning to fall apart. The stories are light and entertaining without the need to lecture, due to the age of the books it also gives an insight into the thoughts of the males writing women's roles in SF in the mid 20th century. Still All Good
