  • Notes: Data from Amazon UK, Waterstones and publisher's site as of 2020-09-18. The product pages at Waterstones, and for the Kindle publication on Amazon UK, state that this is volume 14 in the British Library Science Fiction Classics publication series, but this does not appear to be corroborated by the actual book, nor the publisher's website. The copyright page credits the cover as "Front cover illustration: Nova melting a hypothetical planet, 1950 by Chesley Bonestell. Reproduced courtesy of Bonestell LLC. Front cover design by Jason Anscomb" Contents are via the Amazon "Look Inside" preview of the ebook published on the same date by the same publisher. Each story appears to be preceded by an introduction covering the subject matter of the story, and a brief biography of that story's author. There are also interior illustrations which the copyright page states are "reproduced from Sur les Autre Mondes by Lucien Rudaux, Librairie Larousse, Paris, 1937... The illustration and caption on page 168 are reproduced from The New Book of Knowledge edited by Sir John Hammerton, Waverly Book Co. Ltd., Glasgow, 1953". Contents' page numbers from ecampus.com.
