  • Magazine is subtitled An Informal Journal of Speculation on the cover only.
  • The magazine is comprised of loose pages side-stapled three times. See image.
  • Cover is printed on heavy blue index card stock.
  • Art Editor: Jon Gustafson. All illustrators are given credit on the contents page.
  • Randy Mohr's artwork is signed R. Mohr and RM.
  • "A Conversation with Avram Davidson" is uncredited, however the introductory paragraph states that the interviewer is "Steve", and the interviewer is identified with the initials "SF". This is presumed to be editor Steve Fahnestalk.
  • The Steve Fabian illustration is untitled and is two stardancing astronauts with a space shuttle in the background.
  • Fahnestalk's review column mentions several early Major Books' titles, The Sensible Spy by Kirby Carr and Five for Infinity but he only gives real reviews to those listed. The same is true of seventeen Laser novels and a half dozen other books.
