The author divides this book into sections, by theme, as below :

ONE FOR THE SHRINKS
THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
SQUARE PEGS IN ROUND HOLES
The first story is by far the best. Overall, Harrison is just a workmanlike short story writer in general (3.30), but rarely comes up with a clunker. So if you like your basic simple science fiction short story, and lots of them with variety, this is worth a look. Apart from the Streets Of Ashkelon, there are several other good stories.
There are only two fantasy stories - The Light Fantastic section - but one of those is a good one. Harrison says when he thinks story, he just doesn't think 'fantasy'.
