The twelve titles listed below, most of which are English First Editions, are part of Google's digital project and can be read on the Internet or downloaded as a pdf. This is convenient, as only about half of these titles have been reprinted in the past few decades. Reading a digital science fiction novel from cover-to-cover is less than enjoyable, but it does provide the opportunity to examine a title page, peruse the contents, or admire an old illustration. Thanks Google!
