William Tenn's "Time in Advance" (collection): Annotated table of contents & review

Cover of short story collection Time in Advance by William TennFour stories. I'd read "Firewater" long back - communications difficulties during first contact with aliens, & modeled after the (presumably) historical European invader/native American interactions.

There is only story one I really loved - "Time in Advance", but others are still readable.

Where I have a separate post on a story, link on its title goes there.

Table of contents.

  1. [novelette] "Time in Advance" (A); Galaxy, August 1956: There is a 50% discount on conviction provided you get arrested & let a court convict you before you commit a murder!
