There are actually three different Ace Specials series.

The first was done in the late 60's - early 70's by Terry Carr and had
some really great books.  The ones that weren't success at least failed
in interesting ways.  This series published many of the ground breaking
books, both by new and established writers.

The second series was done in the middle 70's without Terry Carr.  It
wasn't nearly up to the standards of the first series.

The "New" Ace Specials were again edited by Terry Carr in the middle 80's
until his death, and were a great jump in quality.  This time the goal
was to publish the first novel of the hot new SF writers in the field.
And it did, "Neuromancer" by William Gibson being only the most famous
novel.  Terry Carr's work will certainly be missed.
