Notes:
- Fourth printing, as per number line, of the 2005 edition.
- Only ISBN-13 is used on the copyright page and the back cover.
- Cover has a sub-title:
- No printed price. Price on publisher's website - here - (A$19.95 in March 2009 & still in Jan. 2011) is possibly for an earlier printing.
- All the stories have their own title page on a right hand page, then nearly all have a page or two of introduction (which starts on a right hand page), then the story. This was taken into account when estimating story "lengths". Stated page number is that of each story's title page.
- "Lightning Bringer" is listed as "Lightening Bringer" in the TOC, but is "Lightning Bringer" on the story's title page.
- The story "Down to the Scum Quarter" doesn't have a subtitle on the story's title page (or in the TOC), but the title just above the story has a subtitle, giving: "Down to the Scum Quarter: A Farcical Fantasy Solo Adventure".
