Notes:
- "First Printing, December 1977" stated on the copyright page.
- Publisher as stated on the title page: "London: George Prior Publishers" (over) "Boston: Gregg Press". The spines of both the book and the dustjacket give the publisher as "Gregg" only.
- The copyright page appears to be a reprint of that from the Gregg Press edition, including the same publishing date, ISBN, and the US LCCN with complete CiP Data. There's an additional line: "Published in the United Kingdom by George Prior Publishers", followed by the new ISBN.
- No printed price. Price from label on front jacket flap of "Swords and Deviltry".
- "Jacket art by Wayne Barlowe and jacket design by John Balta" (over) "Frontmatter art by Alice D. Phalen" (over) "Map of Stardock and Oblelisk [sic] Polaris by Jeff Jones" stated on the copyright page.
- Bound in red buckram with titles in gold, and a reproduction of the author's signature on the front board.
- Photographic reprint of the 1968 Ace paperback edition.
- No explicit credit is given to Fischer as the co-author of "The Lords of Quarmall". Leiber acknowledges in his foreword that he completed the story that Fischer abandoned in 1936. Leiber points out each section that was written by Fischer, and notes in the dedication that Fischer wrote "ten thousand of these words, here unchanged..."
