"A Few Miles" and "Prometheus" feature Brother John Carmody, who appears in more stories and in the 1966 novel Night of Light. These originally appeared [title story was revised] in IF, Worlds of Tomorrow, Magazine of F&SF, Galaxy and Amazing - from 1960 to 1969. This marks their first appearance in a Farmer collection. If you want to find out about the range of Philip Jose Farmer - from humorous to serious - this is a good collection to sample. The SFBC hardcover (April/May 1971) was the true first edition; the Signet paperback came out in October 1971.
