This book is in good condition with some ageing on cover. A brilliant 445 pages of classic Science Fiction stories. This collection includes " Call Me Joe" by Poul Anderson ( written in 1957) - which many people claim was a direct inspiration for the movie "Avatar".The premise of a paraplegic man whose mind is remotely controlling a blue-skinned alien body also appears in James Cameron's 2009 movie Avatar – similar enough for some to have called for Anderson to receive credit.
