  • Copyright date 1950, but no publication date stated; 1950-01-00 taken from Tuck. Advertisement on the back cover is for The Rat Race by Jay Franklin, stating "Ready in February", so this issue must have been published very early in the year.
  • Vol. 1, Number 6 on the contents page. Simply "No. 6" on the cover.
  • Digest-sized, but saddle-stapled.
  • Page count includes covers.
  • Cover artist not credited but complete signature is clearly visible. It illustrates "Scanners Live in Vain", but there is no indication thus.
  • The poem on page 20 is headed by "Songs of the Spaceways / Poetry Editor: Lilith Lorraine, Rogers, Ark."
  • The review of "The Big Eye" attributes it to "Max Erlich".
  • The review of "The Best Science-Fiction Stories: 1949" lists it as "The Best Science Fiction: 1949".
