Title Reference: The Best of John Wyndham 1932-1949
ISFDB Record Number: 261988
Notes: Edited by Angus Wells. A reprint of the 1975 edition. Contains the stories from 1932-1949 that were originally collected in "The Best of John Wyndham".
"The Perfect Creature" is titled "Perfect Creature" on the ToC Page, but is correct on the first page of the story.
According to the copyright page it appears this may be a second printing, with the first being in 1975. Also according to some sources, this book may have been printed with the ISBN for the other book that contains the rest of the stories from the hardback edition mentioned in the notes above. The ISBN for this book may be 0-7221-9373-4, however since the ISBN in the ISBN field above is the one printed on the book, I have chosen for now to leave it there. If anyone has another copy of this book, with the ISBN here in the notes on it, please contact me through my Talk Page. CP
