- Cover and spine are titled Author's Choice Monthly: Issue 4, but the title page gives the title as Nine Hard Questions About the Nature of the Universe.
- There is no ISBN and no printed price. The price for this record is from Locus1.
- The frontispiece reprints the illustration from the cover. Both are uncredited but Barr's signature is clearly visible.
