Inside front cover: "Seven famous science fiction authors present essays on the science and art of writing science fiction. They offer valuable tips and insights to the writer breaking into science fiction, and give the general reader fascinating behind-the-scenes information on how stories are constructed.

I bought this for Harlan Ellison's essay on Heinlein's Rules and found a great deal more. It was worth at least three or four times what I paid for it. An absolute necessity for the professional writer who is serious about the craft in ANY genre.
