[November 6, 1960] Take Five (Store of Infinity by Robert Sheckley)

[galacticjourney]

There are few folks who have taken greater advantage of the Silver Age of science fiction (i.e. the Post-War boom and bust of the digests) than Robert Sheckley. As of last month, the fellow had already published four collections of his works. The beneficiaries of this production are Bob's pocketbook...and every reader who gets hands on his stuff. Sheckley's mastery of the science fiction short story, whether straight, humorous, cynical, or downright horrific, is legendary.

Now, Notions: Unlimited, Sheckley's fourth collection, just came out in June. Moreover, I'd had reason to believe that November would be a month of slim pickings for new fiction. Imagine my surprise (and delight!) at finding yet another Sheckley collection on sale.

This one, Store of Infinity, may be my favorite of them all.
