(Found) Short SF love stories compilation book

Hugh said:
It should be easy enough to identify the anthology given we now know four of the stories, but I cannot find a record of it in either of the databases I use:


The Internet Speculative Fiction Database

www.isfdb.org www.isfdb.org

I read two of the stories in Judith Merril's annuals (5th and 7th), and the other in Sloane's "Stories for Tomorrow"

Yes, I couldn't find it either. That's why I asked if it might have been in a language other than English.
 
Was it an anthology specifically dedicated to SF love stories? (Which I think would be a pretty cool idea.) Or a much larger book which just happened to contain these five?
 
I've done some digging also - there is not one anthology that collects these stories. Perhaps the OP's memory has conflated a heap of books? The Bradbury doesn't seem to have ever been published outside of The Martian Chronicles, and while the others exist in some anthologies, not together.

I have to say this is possible, 35ish years was long time ago. I must have been much more of a romantic then i knew - to have remembeted these from all of the very many 2nd hand sci fi books & anthologies i devoured at that time. Soon after (1990) I got a mortgage, husband, kids etc & didn't have the time. In between i found McCaffrey, Eddings, Feist & other fantasey. I'm going back to rediscover sci fi now & this forum has so many good suggestions

You can't, I can, now done!

Good to see you've found the stories, even if not in one place. I do hope that now you're back into reading SF among the fantasy you'll stay with us and join in conversations -- or start them! -- in other threads.

No 1 could almost be a ss by Ed Emshwiller ( I think) called Katy 8 ( or something along those lines. )

Someone with a proper computer would need to check. Beyond the capabilities of my antique iPhone and my sf mag collection is not at hand.

Found the story I was thinking of: Miss Katy Three by Robert F Young. Fantastic Universe Nov 1954. Close but prob not the story the OP was thinking of.
