Who edited The Fantasies of Robert A. Heinlein

[Symbolt]

Quick question: who edited The Fantasies of Robert A. Heinlein (TOR 1999 / 2002), and could you perhaps provide me with the page numbers for "All You Zombies" in this collection? I'm writing a paper on time-travel, and I need this for the bibliography, and I don't have the book on me at the moment! TIA for you help.

Actually, this is a re-release of two earlier books together, Waldo & Magic, Inc., and The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, which Heinlein himself put together. Not certain about the page numbers though... looks like it begins on page 341, and the book (hardbound) is 352 pages, so ... that would be pp. 341-352. It's a story also available in other anthologies as well.

Thanks so much! Would you be so kind as to check if they specify the editor`s name as well?

Well, as I noted earlier, this is a single-volume reissue of two of his earlier books, which Heinlein himself put together. As far as the editor (rather than compiler) responsible for seeing the book through production, I have no idea, nor do I think it would be listed any more than is generally the case in dealing with a book the contents of which were chosen by the author himself. On that, the best thing to do would be to see if your local library or bookstore has a copy, and look to see if that information is listed on the copyright, acknowledgements, etc. pages. As it is, I see no listing of that information in any of the sites on Heinlein I've looked at that mention the book.
