!!Tropes appearing in this anthology:
* {{Doorstopper}}: Most of these books are at minimum 500 pages, packed full of as many stories as the editors could find.
* ThematicSeries: Each of these books are an {{Anthology}} with a title of ''The Arbor House Treasury of...'', and edited by Creator/MartinHGreenberg. They use a [[MinimalisticCoverArt minimalist design for the cover]] to maintain sense of continuity. This visual continuity was [[AvertedTrope disrupted]] by Creator/ArborHouse collapsing and the successive redesign of the covers by later publishers.
* MinimalisticCoverArt: The original front cover for each book is a plain background with the title and editors. There's a difference in colour between ''The Arbor House Treasury'' and whatever the [[GenreAnthology theme/genre]] is for that book.
