- "For two years readers of Amazing Stories have literally clamored for a sequel to the famous story, "The Skylark of Space" which appeared exactly two years ago. Except that "Skylark Three" is more thrilling, more exciting, and even more chockful of science than the other.(not comma) Dr. Smith tells about the story in his author's note far better than we can do." Assumed to be a complete reprint of the Amazing Stories serial introduction statement of 1930.
- Illustrated by Wesso. On pages 21*, 45, 113, 153, 167*, and 225. "Wesso30'" at bottom left on page 21. Illustrations on pages 21 and 167 have the caption printed on the illustration. All have captions underneath matching the novel text. All the illustrations are placed at their caption's point in the text.
- ToC lists the Author's Note, the novel text by chapter heading, the Epilogue separated from the novel text, and Some Remarks on the "Skylark Three" and About Errors. A Compliment to Dr. Smith's Stories.
- Author's Note ends with Edward Elmer Smith, PhD.
- The novel text appears the same as that used in later printings of the novel.
- Epilogue is assumed to be the actual ending for the novel in the 1930 Amazing Stories printing. It ends with "The End" at bottom.
- Some Remarks on the "Skylark Three" and About Errors. A Compliment to Dr. Smith's Stories appears as a letter to the editor. So the title may be that of the serial printing. It is signed John W. Campbell, Jr. (over) Cambridge, Mass. It is followed by an editorial comment printed in parenthesis ending with -Editor.
- No evidence in book as to who the editor was.
- The book does not state it is a reprint of the 1930 Amazing Stories. It is numbered to itself and not to three different serial printings.
- Front cover has a plain brown wood grain finish with "Skylark Three" at top left and a small black rectangular white box (over) "Edward Elmer Smith".
- Spine has "Skylark Three" at top and "Edward Elmer Smith".
