antiloquax: A fine haul there; some of the best anthologies to be had. Do you have
Dangerous Visions, the previous book in the set? At the point
A,DV was issued, "speculative fiction" had taken a hard left, and someone not used to the sort of "inner space" fiction of the period may find it a bit difficult to get into. Fine stories, but it does take a certain shift in gears from the "normal" sf.
DV is a bit more accessible, and a great way to "ease into" the transition. I'd also suggest getting vol. 2B of the
SF Hall of Fame -- both these are excellent books.
Just in case you're interested, I'd also recommend looking for some of the larger anthologies edited by Groff Conklin; he was one of the best when it came to using stories from the Golden Age; and of course there's that massive tome
Adventures in Time and Space (ed. by Healy & McComas), which was something of a groundbreaker in its time, and still remains a very notable volume....

Mr. G: As I understand it, the PoM film has been (once again) shelved for the time being....
nomadman: Malzberg is quite varied, but at his best, a fine writer, well worth looking into.
DD: I wasn't even aware Myers had written a book of that title. Care to give more information?
