  • Notes:
    • This publication was the first to add 'The Emptiness of Space: The Asteroids A.D. 2194' to the collection; the colon appears in the title record to separate the title from its subtitle and does not appear in the title itself. The Contents page lists the story as "The Emptiness of Space: A.D. 2194", and colons also appear before the "A.D." of all stories as they are listed on the Contents page.
    • Contento1 calls the added story 'The Asteroids A.D. 2194'.
    • The title 'The Space Station A.D. 1994' uses a hyphenated "Space-Station" in the Contents page and the top of each right-hand page the story appears on.
    • No statement of printing.
    • The price 5/6 only appears on the inside front cover dustflap as a promisory price to be paid for each book a reader received from the Science Fiction Book Club.
    • Artist credit "CWB" visible on lower right corner of the front cover.
    • OCLC does not list the contents.
