Bibliographic Comments for Reel Future trade edition and book club edition.

• Air Raid is credited to John Varley (not Boehm) on both the contents page and on page 527.
• Armageddon 2419 A.D. does not appear with a - before 2419 on either the Contents page or page 41.

Notes on the Book Club edition

I have a copy of what I believe is the Book Club edition but it's possible this is the retail trade edition and so am describing some details here in case someone has a confirmed retail-trade or book club edition and can state if my copy is retail or BCE. --Marc Kupper|talk 01:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
