  • No printed price. Source of above price unknown to primary verifier. (Not on dust jacket of copy used for primary verification & the dust jacket is not corner-clipped).
  • Although the author of "A Humble Tragedy" is Joyce M. Nankivell in the TOC, it is Joice M. Nankivell in the title block above the story. Latter used here, as per ISFDB conventions (Plus, from Austlit, "Joice" appears to be correct.)
  • Most of the story dates are taken from Austlit (see links in individual story records), because many of the citations in this publication are of prior reprints, not original publications.
  • Some of the items are extracts from novels - Clarke, Lambert. The Alan Marshall item is stated, in this publication, to be from a novel, though Austlit has it as a story.
