Reception
Anthony Boucher, writing in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, called the book "most misleadingly titled; it is not an anthology edited by de Camp, but a group of six de Camp stories selected by H. J. Campbell." While noting they were "ll new to book form," he considered them "a drab assemblage of unfunny humor and (what is even less forgivable) unsexy sex."[3]
