There are certainly a number of classics in that set, and they are deserving of the name 'classics of science fiction,' - but those spinoffs....well, it just ain't so, Magoo.
Yeah, they should have just called it what it is: a publisher bundle from ibooks inc., the imprint started by the late Byron Preiss and later acquired by J. Boylston and Company. (Although for whatever the Humble Bundle page lists them all as being published by Brick Tower Press, which is actually J. Boylston and Company's nonfiction imprint. Go figure.)

I haven't decided whether to buy the bundle yet. The Wild Cards books are tempting, but then I already have a print copy of Deuces Down.
