- Some library records report (c)1998 for this ISBN, perhaps ISBN-13 first-listed. There is no evident 1998 copyright claim, nor any evident basis for such.
- Apparently this is the World's Classics ed. re-branded as Oxford World's Classics. It is a "new edition" in no other respect. See the Pub. Series record for more information.
- For more information about Contents see the record for "Introduction (The Castle of Otranto)" by Clery.

OCLC 60180854 reports "Oxford Paperbacks" and (as do others) "New ed", identifies Clery. OCLC 441852107 (among others) reports "cop. 1998".
