Neither the 1979 SFBC 'Saint Camber', nor the 1985 13th printing of 'Camber of Culdi' have this level of detail.
    • Appendix II appears to be an updated Index of Places. Unlike the index which appeared in the first two volumes of this series, this index seems to have been consolidated. Specifically, it has a subtitle on the title page 'Legends of Saint Camber' and also has a key code (Shown in Appendix I) to indicate which of the three book in this series the places appear in. Neither the 1979 SFBC 'Saint Camber', nor the 1985 13th printing of 'Camber of Culdi' have this level of detail.
    • Appendix III has been updated from Volume I and Volume II to include some greater detail absent even from later (1985) printings of the preceding volumes.
    • Appendix IV is confirmed to be the same in printings from the Legends of Saint Camber series ranging from original publications in 1978, 1981, and reprints of the first volume in 1985.
    • Appendix V has been updated from Volume I and Volume II to include some greater detail absent even from later (1985) printings of the preceding volumes.
