Like its predecessor, Again, Dangerous Visions, and many of the collected stories, have received awards recognition. "The Word for World is Forest", by Ursula K. Le Guin, won the 1973 Hugo for Best Novella.[1] "When It Changed", by Joanna Russ, won a 1972 Nebula Award for Best Short Story.[2] Harlan Ellison was recognized with a special Hugo Award for anthologizing, his second special award, in 1972.[3]
Again, Dangerous Visions was released as a two-volume paperback edition by Signet in the United States, and by Pan in the United Kingdom. A sequel was planned, The Last Dangerous Visions, but was never published in Ellison's lifetime. It was then later released in 2024.
The first printing was a hardback edition of 6,500 copies.[4]
