- The poems are on the bottom of some of the story intros plus one on the end of the Acknowledgements.
- The subtitle of the Introduction is definitely "Ludic Dreaming" both above the Introduction's text and in the TOC. Although this is possibly a typo - there's nothing in the Introduction's text to explain why it's not Lucid, and the Acknowledgements uses Lucid - ISFDB's rules apply, so Ludic it is.
