This is a 'Best of' Galactica fan fiction book. It has stories featuring all of the major characters as well as artistic portraits of each of them.

From a 1987 submission request:

GALACTICA fans, don't forget: Clean Slate Press Is planning GALACTICA 1988: TEN YEARS LATER, a "best-of" for BG fan fiction since the beginning. We can’t do it without your input. Who are your favorite characters? Which are your favorite stories? Who wrote them? What else would you like to see in the 10-year special? Tell us about the writers and zines that kept up your Interest in "Battlestar Galactlca" over the years. Tell them about us. We'd hate to miss the world's best BG writer because he/she wrote for an obscure little zine that only lasted two or three issues, so it's up to you to make sure we do it right. Spread the word. Thank you.

From a July 1993 ad in GAZ: "Some of the best of ten years of BG fan fiction, prepared by Clean Slate with the input and participation of numerous zines and fans. Sample the full spectrum of action, adventure, romance, tragedy, and comedy from the fans who made Galactica what it is today."
