Reviews"Historically, theComplete Sturgeonis one of the most important reissues in years. In terms of reading, this is a goldmine both for those already familiar with Sturgeon's work and for a new generation of readers ready for something real." -Strange Worlds Magazine "Theodore Sturgeon has become a kind of patron saint of SF short story writers. His fiction demonstrated a love of humanity and an understanding of human emotion unparalleled in the field. At the time of his death in 1985, no short story writer was held in so high a regard." -David Brin, author ofHeaven's Reach, "Historically, the Complete Sturgeon is one of the most important reissues in years.
