Industry Reviews
"Since [the first edition was published in 1982] the genre has experienced resurgence of both popular and academic interest, not least because it has been difficult to define...The aspect which makes this book far superior [to others listed earlier in the review] is the writing. Science Fiction Writers communicates an obvious love of the genre. The entries...display a knowledge and enthusiasm for their subjects. The essays are well written and entertaining, and include a select bibliography of works by an about the author...Science Fiction Writers is more than just a reference book...It is certainly good enough to win some converts." --"Reference and Users Services Quarterly" (Winter 1999)
