The Mammoth Book of Best New Science Fiction: 23rd Annual Collection 8

Overview:Gardner Dozois has been working in the science fiction field for more than thirty years. For twenty years he was the editor of Asimov's Science Fiction, during which time he received the Hugo Award for Best Editor fifteen times. In 1984, Gardner Dozois gathered together what he thought was the best short science fiction of the previous year. He scrutinized as many of the magazines, collections and anthologies published in 1983 that he could get his hands on and chose those which he felt best represented the science fiction field. Jim Frenkel published it under the title of 'Year's Best SF' as part of his Bluejay Books line (for three years) and it has been produced every year since then (by St. Martins's Press). Beginning with the fifth volume ( published as volume one in the series ) Constable & Robinson began publishing the series in the UK under the title of 'The Mammoth Book of Best New SF' this series has also continued to the present day.
