It was originally published in hardback in 1968. Ace Books issued an edition in 1983. This edition modified the table of contents by shuffling the order of the material, and replacing nine stories from the 1968 edition with three additional ones. Ellison removed those nine stories from the reissue because they were available in other collections and he had grown sensitive to such overlap.

The book was reissued again in 1997 by White Wolf Publishing as part of their Edgeworks series of Ellison reprints. Once again modifying the table of contents, it contains a further changed order and additional swapping of stories: one of the 1983 additions was retained, an additional two from the 1968 edition were removed, and two new stories were added.
