With an introduction by Robert Silverberg, who opines at length as to Tiptree's identity, never suspecting that it was in fact the pen-name of a woman writer. First edition.

Synopsis
Warm Worlds and Otherwise is a short story collection by Alice Sheldon that was first published in 1975. This collection is notable for its introduction, in which Robert Silverberg wrote that he found the theory that Tiptree was female "absurd", that the author of these stories could only be a man. When it was later revealed that Tiptree was a woman, a postscript by Silverberg was added to the collection.
