Four for Tomorrow is the first story collection by Roger Zelazny, an American writer of science fiction and fantasy; it was published in paperback by Ace Books in 1967. British hardcover and paperback editions followed in 1969, under the title A Rose for Ecclesiastes. The first American hardcover was issued in the Garland Library of Science Fiction in 1975. A French translation appeared in 1980 (as Une rose pour l'Ecclésiaste). Paperback reissues continued from Ace Books and later from Baen Books into the 1990s.[1]

Reception
Judith Merril described the collection as "what may well prove the best reading-buy of 1967".[5] P. Schuyler Miller similarly commented that it was "certainly going to be one of the 'must' books" of the year.[6] Algis Budrys said that the stories could have been written by eminent authors such Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore, Theodore Sturgeon, Ray Bradbury, Avram Davidson, Philip Jose Farmer, or W. B. Yeats—but Zelazny "is beginning where other famous people have arrived".[2]
