Note to self:  Make sure you hit Publish before going on to something else.

Editor Raymond J. Healy was born on yesterday’s date, September 21, in 1907.  He passed away in 1997.  Healy is remembered as the co-editor (with J. Francis McComas) of the massive anthology Adventures in Time and Space (1946).  It’s a doorstopper of a book (~1000 pages) containing a number of stories by people who are now legends in the field, such as Henry Kuttner, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, along with other writers to whom time has not been so kind, including Harry Bates, P. Schuyler MIller, and Ross Rocklynne.

Unfortunately there’s no electronic edition.  However, if you want to read some great science fiction from the 1930s and early 1940s, then this book is a good place to start.
