Notes:
- Identical contents to A Visitor from Outer Space (Foreign Languages Publishing House, Moscow, 1961, same translator), with the addition of Asimov's introduction.
- Stated only "First Collier Books Edition 1962" on copyright page, with no indication of printing number. This may or may not be the true first Collier Books edition – another edition with a different cover, which also states only "First Collier Books Edition 1962", is known to have had at least two printings with subsequent colour changes to the cover design, therefore this edition may either predate or postdate those editions.
- Published August 1962 per Cole Checklist of SF Anthologies.
- Cover artist not credited.
- Like the other Collier editions, this edition does not contain the long footnote to A. Kazantsev's story 'A Visitor from Outer Space', mentioned in Isaac Asimov's introduction as being "mercifully omitted from the present edition."
