| August 15, 2023 | Edited by tkech | fixed my error misidentifying the original, added a note about a better Baen edition available for borrowing on Open Library. The cover shown here mentioning the contest and paperback is swapped/incorrect. The ebook here, which matches this isbn, has a cover says nothing about the paperback or contest. |
| August 15, 2023 | Edited by tkech | added note about "alternate" ending provided by Heinlein. It's very important to fans. |
