This 26-volume set covers the span of time from 1939 to 1964, anthologizing many of the most significant stories in ScienceFiction each year. The introduction of each volume describes the important RealLife events of the year, but the bulk of each GenreAnthology are the stories that had been published in the {{Pulp Magazine}}s of the era. Initially co-edited by Creator/IsaacAsimov and Creator/MartinHGreenberg, the series went on hiatus after [[AuthorExistenceFailure Dr Asimov's death]] in 1992. Creator/RobertSilverberg convinced Greenberg to publish one additional volume in 2001.

* MisterSandmanSequence: The primary purpose of the introduction is to help the reader get into the mindset of that volume's year. It starts with major RealLife events, shifts to describing the English-speaking culture milestones of the year, and ends more specific details about major events in the ScienceFiction subculture.

* BigRedDevil: The cover to ''Isaac Asimov Presents: The Golden Years of Science Fiction: Second Series'' has a bald red-skinned humanoid with large fangs and a long tail sitting in an iron throne with flames on either side. As artwork, we don't really learn how it relates to any narrative, but it certainly evokes the idea of the classic Christian devil.

* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: Each volume was originally prefaced with Dr Creator/IsaacAsimov's name, as he is more well-known amoung casual readers than Creator/MartinHGreenberg. Long after Dr Asimov's death, Greenberg teamed up with Creator/RobertSilverberg to anthologize one additional volume. Silverberg replaced Asimov in the title.

* SpiritualSuccessor: In this case, the series is intended as a spiritual antecedent to the ''Literature/WorldsBestScienceFiction'' series that began in 1965.
