"The DAW Science Fiction Reader" is an anthology of science fiction stories, edited by Donald A. Wollheim. It was first published in both hardcover and paperback by DAW Books in July, 1976, and reprinted in paperback a number of times since. It was the 200th title from DAW, and was intended to mark that milestone by showcasing the work of some of the publisher's most popular authors.
The book collects seven works by various science fiction authors, including a novel by Andre Norton and novellettes and short stories by the remaining authors, together with a general introduction by the editor and an introduction to the Norton piece by its author.
