- There is a printing error in this publication. The story ends on page 140 and is followed by page 141 which is the first page of the Epilogue. We would have expected the epilogue to be continued on pages 142 and 143. However, the publication has unpaginated advertising there. To read the story from start to finish you would read from page 9 to 141 and then skip back to the beginning of the publication to read the remainder of the epilogue on pages 7 and 8.
- This publication does not include the "Appendix to the Fall of the Towers" VT "Afterword" essays that are found in some editions of City of a Thousand Suns. It appears the publisher put some effort into fitting the publication within nine 16-page signatures (144 pages total). For example, chapters do not start on a new page. Even with this there was not enough room to include the "Afterword" essay.
