One of the finest books of short stories EVER! And I never really thought of myself as a fan of this particular author.

I read this when it was published in the late 70's and re-read it recently. Turns out I remembered almost all of the great stories (about 30 of them most 3 or 4 pages long). I remembered them since they were SO DARNED GOOD, but didn't realize they were all from the same author!

Lots of time travel and alien contact stories, but they really run the gamut of subjects.

If you want a book full of short, stimulating stories filled with some of the most interesting ideas, you really need to read this book!
