They're not identical, as per the description of the book at FW. This version contains three more chapters than the PG version:
Quote:
For comparison here are the first five chapters as listed in the table of contents of the magazine version of the book:
I THE OCCURRENCE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
II THE ENGAGEMENT DINNER
III EARLIER DAYS
IV FAILURE AND SUCCESS
V STEEL BECOMES INTERESTED
And here are the first two chapters from other ebook editions:
I THE OCCURRENCE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
II STEEL BECOMES INTERESTED
The two tables of contents and chapters are the same after the chapter "Steel Becomes Interested."
