About the Author:
Robert Sheckley (1928-2005) was a Hugo- and Nebula-nominated American author. First published in the science fiction magazines of the 1950s, his numerous, quick-witted stories and novels were famously unpredictable, absurdist, and broadly comical. In 2001 he was named an Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
Review:
''Mr. Sheckley - as might be expected of a writer who can wring praise from as diverse a group of peers as Kingsley Amis, Harlan Ellison, John le Carre, and J. G. Ballard - has an engagingly madcap manner all his own.'' --Wall Street Journal, praise for the author
''Sheckley has long been considered one of the genre's leading humorists.'' --New York Times, praise for the author

Later UK version has 2 different stories in it:- Synopsis: Untouched By Human Hands are the stacks of boxes confronting two starving explorers on an alien world. Some of their contents are digestible - and some of them are hungry! Untouched By Human Hands are the 'surplus female' pens of a distant planet - where wife-killing is required by law, and mendacity is an act worse than death. Untouched By Human Hands is the Altar of Baz-Matain - until it appears in New Jersey, just north of Hoboken. Untouched By Human Hands is filled with fear, surprise, ruthless humor, and an almost fanatical devotion to delight, as Robert Sheckley reaches out his hands to you:- (original cost $1.75).
