First printing by number line. Three selections were meant to be included, but permission could not be procured to use them. The introductions for them are still in the book. All three are Heinlein stories and can be found in his Collection "The Past /Through Tomorrow" (1967). They are; "Requiem", "Blowups Happen", and "Coventry". "Introduction" is credited to "The Editors" on the ToC, but in an Essay printed in "Gold", Asimov stated that Martin H. Greenberg penned all of the book introductions for this series of books.
