The DAW Science Fiction Reader
The DAW Science Fiction Reader is an anthology of science fiction stories, edited by Donald A. Wollheim. It was first published in paperback by DAW Books in July, 1976. It was the 200th title from DAW, and was intended to mark that milestone by showcasing the work of some of the publisher's most popular authors. The title consciously reprised that of the Avon Science Fiction Reader, a short-lived digest-sized magazine Wollheim had edited while employed by Avon Books in the 1950s.

gollark: Besides, with DVDs you have to physically *store* them and move them around and it's irritating.
gollark: Those are bad at transcoding and generally have slow storage.
gollark: I don't think your assumptions there are accurate. At all.
