Analog's Lighter Side
Analog's Lighter Side is the fourth in a series of anthologies of science fiction stories drawn from Analog magazine and edited by then-current Analog editor Stanley Schmidt. It was first published in paperback by Davis Publications in 1982, with a hardcover edition following from The Dial Press in January 1983.
The book collects thirteen short stories, novelettes and novellas and one poem, all first published in Analog and its predecessor title Astounding, together with an introduction by Schmidt. Most of the pieces are accompanied by the original illustrations from their initial magazine appearances, by artists Edd Cartier, Kelly Freas, John Sanchez, Jack Gaughan, and Vincent Di Fate.
