The Best of Edmond Hamilton is actually dedicated to the editor who bought the story, Farnsworth Wright, who edited Weird Tales from 1924 to 1940. This is Hamilton's first published story, and it is actually mentioned on the cover of the issue of Weird Tales in which it appeared, which must have been very exciting for a writer early in his career. First up, four stories from The Best of Edmond Hamilton that first appeared in genre magazines in the 1920s and early 1930s. Here at MPorcius Fiction Log we'll be reading both of these collections of classic adventure SF. In 1977 Del Rey put out a volume dedicated to MPorcius fave Edmond Hamilton, edited by Hamilton's wife, Leigh Brackett, as well as a book of Brackett stories edited by Hamilton. In the past I've mentioned Del Rey's cool Best of series of paperback collections of stories by classic SF authors in fact, back in early 2016, I read 1978's The Best of Eric Frank Russell, which has an introduction by Alan Dean Foster, cover to cover.
