When we sat down to transcribe the copies we could find, we came across a good number of apparent mistakes. We are not interested in adding any changes or opinions about what it was "supposed" say, so we have left the text just as it originally appeared. Following the places where we found apparent grammatical or spelling errors we have added a ~ to assure the reader that it is an intentionally reproduced "typo."

There was very little changed in the stories between The Original Manuscript and The First Edition. Dr. Bob's Story is included here for convenience and Ace Full-Seven-Eleven is included because it is the only story that appears only in The Original Manuscript.
