  • No statement of printing on copyright page.
  • "Jacket--M. Shelton" (not specified if art, design, or both).
  • The ISBN # is derived from the SBN # 911676-02-3. Contento lists an "Introduction" by Avram Davidson that's not in the Primary (transient) copy. I'm assuming that a single paragraph, which is printed on it's own individual page, just before the first story (and which wasn't part of the original publication of that story), is by Young and is introducing the book. The paragraph begins: "This is a dream, I said. This whole journey has been a dream..."
  • The table of contents incorrectly lists "The Pyramid Project" as beginning on pg. 209.
  • "The Pyramid Project" has 5 individually titled subsections which are:
    • The Sphinx (pg. 203)
    • Cheops' Daughter (pg. 209)
    • The Pyramid Project (pg. 214-same title as the title of the story)
    • Ahura's Tale (pg. 227)
    • The Ambassadors (pg. 234)
  • "Neither Do They Reap" is also divided into 5 individually titled subsections:
    • The Sheep (pg. 77)
    • The Herdsmen (pg. 82)
    • The Gray Pastures (pg. 87)
    • The Wilderness (pg. 92)
    • The Promised Land (pg. 96)
  • "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" is divided into 5 sections, but only the last 4 are individually titled as follows:
    • Forget Me Not (pg. 319)
    • Azure (pg. 328)
    • Worldwellost (pg.338)
    • Iago Iago (pg. 349)
  • Month from review slip seen in a photo on eBay.
