    • All the stories have their own title page on a right hand page, then nearly all have a page or two of introduction (which starts on a right hand page), then the story. This was taken into account when estimating story "lengths". Stated page number is that of each story's title page.
    • "Lightning Bringer" is listed as "Lightening Bringer" in the TOC, but is "Lightning Bringer" on the story's title page.
    • The story "Down to the Scum Quarter" doesn't have a subtitle on the story's title page (or in the TOC), but the title just above the story has a subtitle, giving: "Down to the Scum Quarter: A Farcical Fantasy Solo Adventure".
