( ++ 1/2 ) The Best Time Travel Stories of all Time - ed. by Malzberg
This is a pretty good anthology of many pretty good time travel stories.
Malzberg’s intros add very little of interest. Here’s the table of
contents:

adaptation of A Sound of Thunder.

As I recall, I got two Best Time Travel Stories anthologies almost
back to back. One was this one, and the other was The Best Time
Travel Stories of the 20th Century ed by  Martin H. Greenberg and
Harry Turtledove. Only two story overlap, and I think I preferred
the Greenberg/Turtledove to the Malzberg.

Interesting! I was happy with Malzberg's choices, as the stories were pretty darn good. I was also impressed, because some of the usual suspects are *not* here, so I got to read many good stories I was previously unfamiliar with.
I should check out the Greenberg & Turtledove anthology you mention.
