  • The cover artist is not credited. The copy transient-verified was from a public library and has a sticker that covers up the lower-left part of the picture. Per what's visible in the image on Amazon.com it's possible there's a signature in that corner.
  • This publication does not have the interior artwork found in the Sofawolf Press edition published in 2003.
  • The editor's "Foreword to the ibooks Edition" says that the Afterword and Bibliography are the same as what appeared in the edition published by Sofawolf published in 2003. The "Introduction" essay also appears to have not been updated for this edition.
  • Page 13 has "Section One" over "Living Among Us:" over "Furries and Humans" over "Foreword by Tim Susman". Based on how it is formatted the "Section One" part does not seem to be part of the title. Thus "Living Among Us: Furries and Humans" was used as the title for this publication record. The Contents drops the first part of the title and instead has "Section One: Furries and Humans" over "Foreword by Tim Susman". Sections Two and Three are formatted the same as Section One both in the body of the publication and on the Contents page.
  • The copyright page credits ''A Snapshot from Fayetteville'' as copyright by Batassian Ltd. The contents and the story credit Mick Collins.
  • The essay Dedication for "Wings" by Todd G. Sutherland is not on the Contents page nor the copyright page. It is dated August 2, 2004 and did not appear in the Best in Show edition of this anthology.
  • The story Secret Weapon is listed as being by Alan Kitchen in the body of the book. The Contents and copyright pages both list the author name as Allen Kitchen.
  • The essays Afterword and Bibliography and Biographies are listed as Afterword & Bibliography and Contributor Bios in the Contents.
  • The Biographies essays are roughly a third of the page each (one long paragraph each) and so is not included in the ISFDB Contents.
  • The author names "Chas. P. A. Melville" and "Mel. White" include the period as part of the first name in the body of the Contents, copyright page, and in the body of the book.
