Interior text

Kuttner's Best

"If you have arrived at this book and look to Kuttner for religious instruction, secular improvement, or moral renovation, save with certain exceptions, you had best retreat to forms of navel-lint plucking with which the sophomores of the world bug each other. Kuttner will not kick, bite, beat — much less hug, kiss or improve you. And thank God for that!"
—From the Introduction by Ray Bradbury

"The author's best quality is his irreverence, which delights and scandalizes...!"

—Chicago Tribune
