I haven't gotten around to reading all of these, so this is a good nudge to fill those gaps. The Stars My Destination had a huge effect on me, as did The Space Merchants (aka Gravy Planet) More Than Human, and The Big Time.

The essays on the publisher's site are most interesting -- Neil Gaiman on Leiber? Connie Willis on Heinlein? Looking forward to spending some quality time perusing these! Thanks much.
