The World of Science Fiction, 1926-1976: The History of a Sub-Culture

Rating:
Summary: Mile Wide / Inch Deep
Review: This book is a wonderful source for understanding the development of Science Fiction Publications, but as far as the substance of the books themselves, very little attention is given to critically approaching their ideas. In broad strokes, Del Rey categorizes the different eras, but the text is couched in generalizations and a lack of critical approach to the material. It's also outdated.
