Back cover text

"Another worthy tradition: Donald A. Wollheim's annual best-of-the-year anthology ... always dependable."

So say the Chicago Daily News and the Miami News.

Of last year's Annual, the American Library Association Booklist wrote:

"The always reliable Wollheim has assembled his most satisfying collection in these ten stories ... solid professional stories as expected from a veteran editor and publisher who puts reader entertainment first."

And the Canadian SF expert Don Hutchinson wrote:

"The DAW anthologies are always mercifully free of the wearisome stuff written by people out to score literary points at the expense of intelligibility ... Wollheim edits with the reader in mind."

The 1977 Annual World's Best SF continues the tradition of selecting the authentic best ten science fiction stories of the year. You can rely on this one.

So wrote one reviewer and in very similar words so wrote dozens of other reviewers in newspapers and magazines all over the world.

The 1977 Annual upholds their confidence.
