New Writings in SF 11


New Writings in SF 11 is an anthology of science fiction short stories edited by John Carnell, the eleventh volume in a series of thirty, of which he edited the first twenty-one. It was first published in paperback by Corgi in 1967, followed by a hardcover edition by Dennis Dobson in 1968. This marked a reversal of the usual publication sequence, in which the Corgi paperback followed an initial hardcover from Dobson.
The book collects nine novelettes and short stories by various science fiction authors, with a foreword by Carnell. The first, third and eighth stories were later reprinted in the American edition of New Writings in SF 8.
