  • The publication has no dating and no pricing information. Month of publication and price taken from the January 1972 SFBC announcement flyer. This is a book club edition (#2000 on the back flyleaf) where the copyright page does not show any copyright or printing information at all other than "Printed in the United States of America."
  • Immediately after the copyright page is the title page for The Hugo Winners, Volumes I, a copyright page dated 1962, and the table of contents for vol. 1. Vol. 1 ends on page 268 and immediately after this is the title page for The Hugo Winners, Volumes II, a copyright page dated 1971, and the table of contents for vol. 2 with the vol. 2 introduction on page 273. Thus, other than the jacket flyleaves there is no introduction or other material about the omnibus.
  • Secondary contributors - The acknowledgments for vol. 1 credit Robert P. Mills and Sam Moskowitz for "help in the preparation of this book." The appendix also notes "A full list of the Hugo winners though 1961 has been prepared by Ed Wood, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, a prominent science fiction fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of the field. This list has been made available to me by Earl Kemp, chairman of the committee that is organizing the 20th Convention, which will be held in the month which this book is published."
  • The Introduction essay on pages [x] to xiv and the "Postscript" essay on pages [264] and 265, both by Isaac Asimov, are not listed in the publication's table of contents on page [ix].
  • The appendix for the second part is listed as "Hugo Awards 1962-70" in the table of contents on page [271] and as "Hugo Awards 1962-1970" in the body of the book. The difference is that in the TOC "1962-1970" was shortened to "1962-70".
  • Gutter code "M51" indicates a printing in December 1971. Verified copies have the gutter codes "N40" (October 1972), "N27" (July 1972), "O12" (April 1973), "P5" (January 1974), "Q7" (January 1975) and "R48" (November 1976).
