The Time Ships

Notes

The short "Editor's Note" at the beginning of this novel, though "signed" by Stephen Baxter, is not a real essay but a part of the novel. It pretends that the manuscript for the novel was given to Baxter and that he is not the author but just the editor.

• "First HarperPaperbacks printing: January 1995" • The above statement from the copyright page is a typo as the hardcover came out in June '95; later printings correctly state the first paperback printing as January 1996 • Full number line 10—1. • Cover illustration credited to Eggleton on the copyright page, as are the interior illustrations by Edwards • The "Editor's Note" is written as if the manuscript for the novel was given to Baxter; only one page. • The "Prologue" is a preamble to the novel from the viewpoint of its fictional author. • Neither is really a story.
