Notes:
- "First Printing, April 1973" stated on the copyright page with an incomplete number line: "2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" and "Printed in the U.S.A."
- There doesn't appear to be a US printing with a complete number line. It was usual practice for DAW to print the full number line on US printings and the Canadian printings' number lines began with "2" [from late 1980 until the early 90s, not in the '70s].
- "Cover art by Jack Gaughan" stated on the copyright page.
- "UQ1050" and "No. 50" printed on the front cover. "451•UQ1050•095" printed on the spine.
- "Illustrated by Jack Gaughan" stated on the title page.
- Interior artwork consists of four full page B&W illustrations by Gaughan, including a frontispiece.
- Most stories begin mid-page, except for the three which are illustrated by Jack Gaughan. His full-page work precedes each of the stories, but on its backing page, not its facing page.
