Notes:
- Per Chalker/Owings, the remaining stock of the first printing of 1200 copies of this book was acquired by Julius Unger when Hadley folded. He subsequently printed new jackets which carried the "F. F. F." logo on the spine. This record is for those rejacketed copies. It is estimated that approximately 300 copies were issued with the new jacket.
- Earl Terry Kemp in The Anthem Series lists a second cover price of $2.50 and this may refer to the rejacketed copies.
- On copyright page: "Copyright 1947 by John W. Campbell, Jr." and "Copyright by Street & Smith Publications 1935". No statement of edition or printing.
- "Illustrated by Robert Pailthorpe" on title page. Noted without explanation: both Chalker/Owings and Kemp credit the interior illustrations and this edition's jacket art to Betty Wells Halladay.
