Summary: Superlative Collection
Comment: This is a collection of superlative stories from Asimov's Magazine. It's a good place to find stories that began careers. The stories are: Bloodchild by Octavia Butler, only her second story in Asimovs, it won both the Hugo and Nebula; Firewatch by Connie Willis that also won the Hugo and Nebula and started her career; Press Enter by John Varley that also won the Hugo and Nebula, Hardfought by Greg Bear that won a Nebula; The Peacemaker by Gardner Dozois that won a Nebula; Her Furry Face by Leigh Kennedy and my personal favorite, The End of Life As We Know It by Lucius Shepherd. It's a shame this anthology is out of print. All the stories are from the 1980s, but every one of them is still powerful and a good read.

Summary: There's a reason they call it the best
Comment: A collection of punchy, enjoyable science-fiction stories from IAsfm's first decade and change, running the gambit from hard science to character-driven to simple dumb fun. Only further reason to believe that the Good Doctor was wise in putting his name on the magazine.
