  • Notes on the stories from the collection "Galaxies Like Grains of Sand":
    • Only the titles of the expository narrative texts appear in this publication (e.g. "The War Millennia", etc.). The titles of the actual stories (e.g. "Out of Reach") do not appear, neither in the TOC nor on the story title pages within the book. Despite this the title records of the stories have been added as content items to this publication to make the database more searchable.
    • The stories are arranged in two separate blocks and appear out of order from the "Galaxies" collection.
    • The expository narrative texts that in the "Galaxies" collection precede the stories "Who Can Replace a Man?" and "Blighted Profile" are missing completely in this publication. The titles of the missing texts are "The Robot Millennia" and "The Mingled Millennia".
    • The story "Blighted Profile" appears in the version from the 1959 edition of "No Time Like Tomorrow". This has been verified by comparing texts.
