- Publication Series: SFBC 50th Anniversary Collection Pub. Series Record # 39
-
Note: A series of reprints of classic works commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Science Fiction Book Club. Eight representative titles were selected from each of the five previous decades, (ten of the titles had never had SFBC editions). The first title appeared in February 2003 and continued on a roughly bi-monthly basis until December 2007. All were published by the Science Fiction Book Club using either the "SFBC Science Fiction" or the "SFBC Fantasy" imprint. One artist was commissioned to create the cover art for each of the eight volumes in a specific decade: 1950s Donato Giancarlo, 1960s Bob Eggleton, 1970s Bruce Jensen, 1980s Jim Burns, and 1990s Stephan Martiniere. These titles were given their first SFBC edition: 10 - Cordwainer Smith - Norstrilia / 12 - Roger Zelazny - The Dream Master / 16 - Alexei Panshin - Rite of Passage / 18 - Michael Moorcock - Gloriana / 20 - James Tiptree, Jr. - Her Smoke Rose Up Forever / 21 - Octavia Butler - Wild Seed / 26 - Tim Powers - The Anubis Gates / 31 - Bruce Sterling - Schismatrix Plus / 34 - Mary Gentle - Rats and Gargoyles / 36 - James Morrow - Only Begotten Daughter All other titles had been reprinted by the SFBC within months of their original trade editions with the following exceptions: ''The Space Merchants'' was reprinted in an exclusive SFBC omnibus in 1985, thirty-two years after its original trade edition. This is its first separate SFBC edition. ''Under Pressure'' had a SFBC edition as ''The Dragon in the Sea''. ''The Stars My Destination'' was in a SFBC reprint of the anthology ''A Treasury of Great Science Fiction'' in 1960, but had its first separate edition in 1996. ''To Your Scattered Bodies Go'' was reprinted in 1980, nine years after its original trade edition. ''A Canticle for Leibowitz'' was reprinted in 1978, eighteen years after its original trade edition. ''The Forever War'' was reprinted in 1997, twenty-two years after its original trade edition. The SFBC edition followed the slightly revised Avon edition. ''Her Smoke Rose Up Forever'', originally published in 1990, follows the slightly revised Tachyon edition. ''Deathbird Stories'' was reprinted in 1984, nine years after its original trade edition. The SFBC edition followed the slightly revised Bluejay edition. ''Ender's Game'' was reprinted in an exclusive SFBC omnibus. This is its first separate SFBC edition. ''Startide Rising'' was reprinted in an exclusive 1987 SFBC omnibus, four years after its original trade edition. This is its first separate SFBC edition. ''Snow Crash'' was reprinted in 1999, seven years after its original trade edition. ''Rats and Gargoyles'' was reprinted by the BOMC when it was originally published. This is its first SFBC edition.
