Roberts, editor, The Prentice Hall Anthology of Science Fiction and Fantasy.  Doorstopper textbook (over 1100 pages) with 87 stories, one article, and seven appendices.  One appendix is a 26 page (small type listing) of  cornerstone studies and anthologies; a casual glance had me scratching my head.  According to this, the good Marty Greenberg and the bad one are the same person, books are credited to the wrong people, co-editors are both listed and missing in the same section, renamed paperback derivatives of anthologies are considered as completely different books, important books are missing, many listings of series anthologies are cut short while others are complete, and single-author collections are considered as anthologies while some anthologies are not.  Based on this, get the book for the stories and take everything else with a grain of salt.
