Not the Best of the Year, Jun 20 2008
By L. B. Guernsey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nebula Awards Showcase 2008 (Paperback)
I mostly agree with the previous reviewer but liked it maybe one star better. I have all the Nebula collections from the first, and this had about the fewest actual stories in it ever. Maybe the editor figured hardcore fans have already read the nominated stories in the magazines, but I read only a few SF collections a year instead to get the cream of the crop. Also, even the Nebula winners included are not that impressive. Try Gardner Dozois's Year Best collection instead.

Contains essays not stories, May 31 2008
By a_guy_in_boston "a_guy_in_boston" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nebula Awards Showcase 2008 (Paperback)
The book's title says "the year's best SF and fantasy" -- but the book really contains essays that are *about* the year's best SF and fantasy. The actual SF and fantasy stories are, with a handful of exceptions, not actually in this book.
