The poem "Cybernetic" is published as part of the "Songs of the Spaceways" department edited by Lilith Lorraine (misspelled in this issue as "Lillith Lorraine"). "The Man Who Lived Backward" begins on page 63, but is listed in the table of contents as "Man Who Lived Backwards" by Ralph M. Farley with a page number of 66. "The Man Who Lived Backwards" is printed at the top of the odd numbered pages of the story. The magazine ceased publication with only two parts of "Journey to Barkut" being published. It later appeared as a novella in "Startling Stories, January 1952" and in book form as "Gateway to Elsewhere". "The Remarkable Exploits of Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman" is listed as "Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman" by Bond. The review of Heinlein's "Waldo and Magic, Inc." misspells his name as "R. E. Heinlein". "The Omnibus of Time" is reviewed as "Omnibus of Time". "The Martian Chronicles" is reviewed as "Martian Chronicles". The book reviews are very short; most of the books featured are also offered for sale in advertisements by the publisher.
