Today, Theodore Sturgeon is best known as the author of two episodes of the original Star Trek, "Shore Leave" and "Amok Time". In the latter, he created the basics of the Vulcan culture that have been used and expanded in all future Treks.
But he was also a great short story writer, as good as Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury. If you have not read any of his short stories, "A Touch of Sturgeon" is a great place to start.
On the other hand, if you have read Sturgeon, be aware that all of the stories in "A Touch of Sturgeon" have appeared in earlier collections, and most have been reprinted many times. If you already have the Sturgeon collections "Aliens 4", "E Pluribus Unicorn", "A Touch of Strange", "The Golden Helix", "The Stars are the Styx", and "Sturgeon is Alive and Well..." then you already have all of these stories.
Fans of Sturgeon will want the complete stories series, the most recent volume of which is "The Nail and the Oracle".

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
