- 20 stories written since World War II (mixed genre) --review in "The Literary Spotlight" by Fanny Butcher, Chicago Tribune 1958-01-12 pC4
- Selected and introduced by the current leading book critic at The New York Times (mixed genre)
- Butcher implies that the pocketbook in hand January 1958 is a paperback original ("Occasionally, original books are published in paper ... like the one I just received.") From library records it is uncertain whether the Pocket Books edition is dated. (Either way, it may have been published late in 1957.) See also library records that report publisher Washington Square Press (not mentioned in newspapers, a known imprint of Pocket Books): OCLC 863379829 (as (c)1957), OCLC 5802131 (as W.265, 1958, with list of Contents), OCLC 935761102 (as 4th printing, 1958).
