- The page numbering in this book is highly erratic. The collection is presented in two parts:
  - "The Book of Ambergris", which has its own title page and artwork on page 9, comprising Moorcock's introduction and the first four stories
  - "Appendix", which has its own title page and artwork on page 219, comprising the remaining material
- The contents of "The Book of Ambergris" are conventionally numbered up to page 218
- In the "Appendix", each entry is either unnumbered or has its own individual numbering, some of which do not start with page 1:
  - A Letter from Dr. V to Dr. Simpkin (5 pages: unnumbered)
  - X's Notes (3 pages: unnumbered)
  - The Release of Belacqua (12 pages: 1-12)
  - King Squid (66 pages: 1-66)
  - The Hoegbotton Family History by Orem Hoegbotton (11 pages: 1-11)
  - The Cage (39 pages: 179-217)
  - In the Hours After Death by Nicholas Sporlender (8 pages: 75-82)
  - A Note from Dr. V to Dr. Simpkin (2 pages: unnumbered)
  - The Man Who Had No Eyes (20 pages: unnumbered)
  - The Exchange by Nicholas Sporlender, illustrated by Louis Verden (30 pages: unnumbered)
  - Learning to Leave the Flesh (13 pages: 221-233)
  - The Ambergris Glossary (45 pages: 1-45)
- The total number of pages in the Appendix, [259], has been determined by hand counting
- In the Contents section of this record, the start page numbers of each entry in the Appendix have been determined by counting forward and so do not reflect the actual page number that may or may not be printed on the start page
- After "The Ambergris Glossary", the publication also contains a 3-page "A Note on Fonts", a 2-page "Art Credits", a 3-page "Acknowledgments", and a 2-page "About the Author" (not counted towards total number of pages)
- The short story "The Man Who Had No Eyes" is encrypted in a series of blocks of numbers. For more detail, refer to the note in its shortfiction title record
- Table of Contents discrepancies: some stories are titled differently in the ToC as follows:
  - The Hoegbotton Guide to the Early History of Ambergris
  - The Hoegbotton Family History
  - In the Hours After Death
  - The Exchange
- The book is profusely illustrated throughout in black and white. The illustrations are individually credited in the "Art Credits" section
