Besides editing the anthologies, he wrote a pretty good one-volume overview of the field, Age of Wonders: Exploring the World of Science Fiction.
RIP
I only contributed one story to his anthologies, the Christmas Stars, but he was a friendly face at the big conventions. I’ll miss him.
Fell on the stairs, carrying books (the family was preparing to move house). So, let the kids or younger friends or paid staff move things. Or at least take every pain.
I'd misunderstood...he was moving bookshelf pieces.
