Each volume featured a number of novelettes and short stories, mostly new works by British and Commonwealth science fiction authors, with occasional pieces by American authors, together with a foreword by the editor. The first twenty volumes included forewords by Carnell, the twenty-first by Diane Loyd, and the twenty-second through the thirtieth by Kenneth Bulmer.

Famous quotes containing the word contents:

    If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    The permanence of all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To be, contents his natural desire;
    He asks no Angel’s wing, no Seraph’s fire;
    But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
    His faithful dog shall bear him company.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
