- The introduction appears on unnumbered pages, starting on page xiii according to the index, and runs for seven pages.
- "Phoenix Without Ashes" by Harlan Ellison is a teleplay, illustrated by Tim Kirk with seven B&W full-page illustrations. There is also a two-page untitled author's afterword.
- The "Contributors" section is repeated after the "Bibliography" on unnumbered pages. They appear to be updated bios because the original anthology was published six years earlier.
