As one of the co-authors of the book, I would of course much prefer it if people bought the book to discover what we cover in it!
The main reason why the list of titles included has not appeared online is because we don't want people to assume the book is merely a 'best of' type “list book”, as it is instead more of an overview of the SF field as a whole that is built up through the individual book recommendations. Any ‘best of’ is just too subjective, even for an extremely well-read SF devotee.
..and of course, one of the comments below does appear to assume the book is just a simple ‘list book’ and not a proper reference work (no offence intended, mate). Naturally, writers would prefer it if potential readers didn’t make too many assumptions.
If you are interested in 100 Must-Read Science Fiction Novels, please check out my website www.stepheneandrews.info for details of the book, it’s approach and contents.
