I wasn't a big fan of the stories he wrote, but I think he was a good judge of others' work. And my well-worn copy of "Imaginary Worlds", his book about fantasy - its history, the do's and don'ts, and (my favorite) the aptness of names - has never been far from my desk since I got it nearly forty years ago.....

Great cover. Enjoyed Carter's editing work a lot.

I really liked that book, too, Toby. Still have my original copy, plus another one signed by Carter and Fritz Leiber.
