Cosmo Oro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cosmo Oro (subtitle: Classici della Fantascienza, "science fiction classics") was a series of science fiction books published in Italy by Editrice Nord starting from October 1970, and usually consisting of re-prints. Authors translated (often with greater care fro translation than in previous editions) included US most famous science fiction writers, such as Philip K. Dick, Jack Vance, Robert A. Heinlein, Frank Herbert, Alfred E. van Vogt and others.

Cosmo Oro was paired by Cosmo Argento, which normally published works previously unpublished in Italy. The series reduced substantially in quality and frequency of publication in the 2000s, and ceased publication with issue #203 in April 2002 (The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton).
