Considering Ellison was claiming that The Last Dangerous Visions would be published six months after Again, Dangerous Visions, anything he has to say on the matter should be taken with an enormous grain of salt. Still, it's good to see Dangerous Visions back in print. There's a lot of good stories in that volume.

I prefer "Again Dangerous Visions". Unlike the first collection, Ellison wasn't trying to prove anything in the sequel and I like it rather better. Does he say in his new intro in which decade (if any) of this century he plans to finally publish "The Last Dangerous Visions"?

Still have a small paperback boxed set from a 1969 release by Berkeley: a still-potent collection of stories (though some of the pieces have dated). Makes sense that Moorcock would be adding a forward to the new reissue since his work as both an author and New Worlds editor also did so much for raising the s-f writing bar.
