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 "[a]ll new to book form," he considered them "a drab assemblage of unfunny humor and (what is even less forgivable) unsexy sex."[3]
