!!''Isaac Asimov Presents: The Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 24 (1962)'' provides examples of:
* BalladOfX: "[[Literature/TheBalladOfLostCmell The Ballad of Lost C'mell]]" is a {{novelette}} written by Creator/CordwainerSmith.
* {{Biography}}: Each story is prefaced by a short description of why this story (from this author) was chosen to represent one of the thirteen best stories of the year. Unfortunately, Creator/IsaacAsimov's perspective is missing from this volume, and the explanation appears in the next one; ''Literature/IsaacAsimovPresentsTheGreatScienceFictionStoriesVolume251963''.
* BookEnds: Creator/ChristopherAnvil's "Literature/GadgetVsTrend": This story begins and ends with a lecture by Dr. R. Milton Schummer, showcasing the differences between the before/after effects of a new stasis technology developed in America. Both lectures end with "One shrinks at the thought of what the next hundred years may bring", but his opinion on what's wrong with America shifts dramatically between the two lectures.
* ComfortFood: Creator/CordwainerSmith's "[[Literature/TheBalladOfLostCmell The Ballad of Lost C'mell]]": Lord Jestocost is extremely fond of eggs, he considers them a special treat.
* DirtyCommunists: Creator/FritzLeiber's "Literature/TheManWhoMadeFriendsWithElectricity": The titular man, Mr Leverett, is anti-communist, not unusual for 1962. Unfortunately, his friend electricity doesn't mind the difference, and they basically get into a fight over it. He thinks electricity will try to kill him so he won't tell others about its un-American beliefs.
* DramaticShattering: In Creator/RALafferty's "Literature/SevenDayTerror", Clarissa knows the value of dramatic presentation, so when they ask her how they get the stuff back that Clarence disappeared, she tells them to get her a hammer and a gold watch. At the right moment, she smashes the watch and points out things are returning. (However, the watch wasn't needed to get the stuff back, she just wanted it for [[InvokedTrope dramatic effect]].)
* GoneToTheFuture: In Creator/RALafferty's "Literature/SevenDayTerror", Clarence Willoughby builds a disappearer, which makes things disappear when you use it. His older sister, however, reveals at the end of the story that it only works for seven days, sending them that far into the future. She knows how to make devices that send things further into the future, up to thirteen years, but Cyril cries when she tries to cut him.
* HarmlessElectrocution: Creator/FritzLeiber's "Literature/TheManWhoMadeFriendsWithElectricity": The titular man, Mr Leverett, does several off-screen tricks with electricity, including having it dance around his body, seen by the way his clothes and hair stand on end when filled with the negative charge.
* HowCanSantaDeliverAllThoseToys: Creator/JamesWhite's "Literature/ChristmasTreason": The children protagonists have realized that delivering presents to everyone in a single night is a logistical nightmare, so they’ve set up an Investigation to figure out how their presents will arrive. They discover, however, that someone has stolen the toys and emptied Santa's rockets, so they launch the rockets themselves, hoping to make Christmas start early.
* HumansThroughAlienEyes: Creator/HarryHarrison's "Literature/TheStreetsOfAshkelon": A human missionary converts an alien culture to {{UsefulNotes/Christianity}}. The aliens then try to initiate the millennium of the missionary's message by crucifying him and waiting for him to rise on the third day.
* InterspeciesRomance: Creator/CordwainerSmith's "Literature/TheBalladOfLostCmell": C'mell is a genetically-engineered Underperson specifically bred to look attractive to humans. Her job involves seducing VIP visitors in order to learn their secrets, but any actual consummation is forbidden. However, she actually falls in love with the human Lord Jestocost, but he's too focused on justice to show affection to anyone.
* OneWorldOrder: Creator/JGBallard's "Literature/TheInsaneOnes": The world has formed a single unified government, called the United World. They passed a law called Mental Freedom that allows anyone to be insane, and holds mental health professionals responsible if they offer help.

* SpaceColdwar: Creator/PoulAnderson's "Literature/KingsWhoDie": A proxy war is being fought across the inner solar system between Western and Soviet space forces in order to prevent a "larger-scale" war on Earth itself.
* TitleIn: Creator/ChristopherAnvil's "Literature/GadgetVsTrend": Because this story switches scenes rapidly, each section is preceded by City (sometimes state), and calendar date, such as "Detroit, December 23, 1977".
* UnPaused: Creator/HarryHarrison's "Literature/TheStreetsOfAshkelon": One trait of the aliens is that they resume interrupted conversations in mid-stream even if days have passed since the interruption. Obviously, they have better (or at least differently-wired) memories than humans.
