- The Catalog of Copyright Entries (Third Series), Books, Jul-Dec 1960, Registration No. A463966, has a copyright assignment for 1959-12-25; this publication may thus have been published in December.
- Contents' page numbers from photo seen on Ebay.com.
- "Jacket Design By {{A|W. I. Van der Poel}}" on the front flap of the dust jacket. Originally, this ISFDB record listed the name as "Walter Van der Poel", which was apparently in error since multiple Ebay-hosted photographs of the interior of the book do not show this version of the name.
