These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside And Then the Town Took Off:Look inside the book: If the girl had given Don Cort more than that one glance, or if it had been a trained, all-encompassing glance, she would have seen a man in his mid-twenties-about her age-lean, tall and straight-shouldered, with once-blond hair now verging on dark brown, a face neither handsome nor ugly, and a habit of drawing the inside of his left cheek between his teeth and nibbling at it thoughtfully. ...Professor Garet went on about it for a while, on the telephone, about magnetism and gravity, but I think he was only calling as a courtesy, so the mayor wouldn't look foolish the next morning, not knowing his town had flown the coop.' About Richard Wilson, the Author: His short stories included 'The Eight Billion' (nominated for a Nebula Award as Best Short Story in 1965); 'Mother to the World' (nominated for the Hugo for Best Novelette in 1969 and winner of the Nebula in 1968); and 'The Story Writer' (nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novella in 1979). ...His other major contribution to science fiction and to Syracuse University was in successfully recruiting the donation of papers from many prominent science fiction writers to the University's George Arents Research Library.
