Flash crowds (and the transfer booth) first appear in the story "Flash
Crowd", written for the collection "Three Trips in Time and Space"
edited by Robert Silverberg. The story is reprinted in "The Flight of
the Horse".
It's a shame this story wasn't included in "A Hole In Space" along with
all the other non-Known-Space transfer booth stories. Maybe all those
will be combined in a future collection, now that the collection "The
Flight of the Horse" has been made obsolete (by the fact that all the
Svetz stories are now combined in "Rainbow Mars").<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
