Note: Some editions list this as a novel. In practice, the three stories remain very separate in plot and location, although they do share a common protagonist and a few other characters. All three stories start from an alternative 1988, but take place in different towns and times, ending in two different times/realities. The original 1962 magazine stories were abridged for their publication in book form. In 1969 this story collection was revised and expanded and grew from 139 to 156 paperback pages, and again in 1974 when it grew to 233 pages. Thus there are four different versions of these stories:

1962 magazine publication of individual stories
1962 abridged collection
1969 revised collection
1974 revised collection
