- 'This paperback edition 2000'
- 'Previously published by HarperCollins Science Fiction & Fantasy 1993, and by Grafton 1991, reprinted once'
- 'First published in Great Britain by Panther Books 1985'.
- The Introduction is signed 'Colombo, Sri Lanka / 16 December 1982' (Clarke's 65th birthday).
- All stories have prefatory notes, untitled, copyrighted for 1983, most probably written in 1982, and printed in italics after the title page of each story. That's why the page numbers below are slightly different than the ones in the Contents.
- Cover art by Chris Moore, first used in the Grafton edition of 1991 (as verfied by Locus).
- This edition omits the artwork of Lebbeus Woods that is part from the 1983 Berkley edition.
- 'The Songs of Distant Earth' is not the short story of the same name but a movie outline written in 1979.
- The year for each story refers to its first publication in magazine (as stated on p. 6 in this edition), which does not necessarily coincides with the year of writing (given in the prefatory notes).
