  • Publication month from the Aurealis website. (presumably, old Aurealis website - publication dates not on new website from November 2014 - [here]. (October 2015) [...clarkmci])
    Copyright page of magazine has © 2003, but, on consideration of the issue grid & the statement "appears twice a year: April and October", am assuming the copyright statement from the previous issue wasn't updated. [... clarkmci]
    Note also that "Catabolic Magic" from this issue won the 2004 Aurealis Fantasy Short Story category & "The Gift of Hindsight" was short listed. ("2004 Aurealis" for the Aurealis awards being essentially year of publication, though some years, December - at least - of the previous year was included.)
    Locus 1 as just "2004".
    Note however, that the "next issue" ad on page 145 has #33 due April 2004. (Since #33 merged with #34 & #35, I presume #33 ended up much later than April, even if #32 was before April. Also, the April planned for #33 might already have slipped by the time #32 was published, but not updated in the "next issue" ad.)
  • The cover art illustrates the story "The Gift of Hindsight". It is different artwork from the illustration accompanying the story, except for one element re-used in the latter.
  • Locus 1 has incorrect page number for "Line of Defence".
  • The Ikin interview has an expanded title at the start of the article, cf the TOC (& Locus 1).
  • "Reviews and News" consists of several pages of essay, followed by reviews of specific titles, a brief interlude, then more reviews of specific titles, then more news.
