As the basis for the publisher and contents, the official bibliography was used.

For the publication format, I used info from online auctions. The cover and page count (239-240) data is pretty consistent.

The contents listing was modified using a later edition (1985), online auctions (Polish) and bibliographies of translations (Russian, German). So,

• misspelled names from the official bibliographies were fixed (in Polish editions we have: Merril, Alistar).
• the titles were recorded as printed above the beginning of the text of each story, Lem's name was printed as "St. Lem" above the text but Stanisław Lem in the contents listing (based on the 1985 ed.)
• Alfred Testa: „Nowa Kosmogonia” was included because:

At an Internet auction [1] (2007-12-29), the contents listing of the 1971 ed. was given as:

1. Stanisław Lem: „Doskonała próżnia”;
2. Marcel Coscat: „Les Robinsonades”;
3. Patrick Hannahan: „Gigamesh”;
4. Simon Marril: „Sexplosion”;
5. Alfred Zellermann: „Gruppenfuhrer Louis XVI”;
6. Solange Marriot: „Rien du tout, ou la consequence”;
7. Joachim Fersengeld: „Perycalypsis”;
8. Gian Carlo Spallanzani: Idiota”;
