Besides the poems and\nthe _Plant Engineering_ article on robots, _PE_ contains the only\npublication of the brilliant essay, \"Books in _The Book of the New Sun_\". \n\n_The Wolfe Archipelago_'s introductory story, \"The Death of the Island\nDoctor\", was reprinted in _Storeys_. \n\nOther than that, yes, there's not much overlap among the various\ncollections. This is not completely accidental; _Storeys_ was assembled as\na small-press companion piece to _Endangered Species_, to collect all of\nWolfe's favorites of his own pieces which had not been collected elsewhere.
