- Only the story authors are listed on the title page of the 2000 edition. The editors above are taken from the copyright page of the 2000 edition.
- Despite the SF Encyclopedia, editor Stephanie Smith is unlikely to be the Stephanie A. Smith in ISFDB.
This has been inferred from the interview in Aurealis #32; further, this title isn't listed on Stephanie A. Smith's website; and, it is an Australian produced title. The Stephanie Smith involved with this title seems to have been an editor employed by HarperCollins Australia. [... clarkmci] - Note that Locus 1 states: "edited by the contributors' agent Selwa Anthony, who is not credited".
The 2000 edition just states: "The inspiration for this book came from the authors' literary agent. The agent sent each author the title -- their imaginations did the rest." [... clarkmci]
- Month from Locus 1. (... although the Australian review site eidolon.net - [here], and on-line Australian retailer Fishpond [see "Other sites" on the left] both give June 2000). (June 2015)
- Note that Locus 1 has this anthology under "Anonymous".
Only the story authors are listed on the title page. The editors above are taken from the copyright page.
Note, however, that Locus 1 states: "edited by the contributors' agent Selwa Anthony, who is not credited". On this matter, the 2000 edition just states: "The inspiration for this book came from the authors' literary agent. The agent sent each author the title -- their imaginations did the rest." [... clarkmci] - No printed price.
- The book has a well-spaced page layout with a largish typeface, and with each story having a title page (on an odd numbered page), blank page, about-the-author-page, blank page, before the story starts.
- Caiseal Mór is stated as Caiseal Mòr in the book; this is being viewed as a typo for which it is not useful to create a variant because using either for a search hits the author's page.
