Tiptree remains one of my favorite authors. He (or she, whichever you like) has written things that stay with me still. This remarkable volume contains eight of her best.

With Delicate Mad Hands (1981)
Beam Us Home (1969)
Love Is the Plan the Plan Is Death (1973)
The Man Who Walked Home (1972)
Your Faces, O My Sisters! Your Faces Filled of Light! (1976)
The Peacefulness of Vivyan (1971)
Excursion Fare (1981)
I'll Be Waiting for You When the Swimming Pool Is Empty (1971)

I echo the last words of Bishop's introduction:

"Therefore, reader, if you are perusing this introduction in a bookstore or a library, do the sensible thing and either buy the book or check it out. Then go home.

Go home and read the stories." ( )
