  • Notes:
    • Available in HTML, plain text (us-ascii & iso-8859-1), & Plucker formats from Ebook #20869. (The raw scans are also available under the files directory, available from this page, but there is no direct link to them.)
    • Produced from Amazing Stories, August, September and October 1928. The HTML version includes artwork from those issues, uncredited but signed Paul, and the magazine cover from the August issue, uncredited here but (from other sources) by Frank R. Paul. (The first installment was the story illustrated on the cover.)
    • The pagination from the source publications is maintained (in the HTML version), but this leaves the total number of pages a bit dicey. Due to the original serialization, there are significant breaks in the page numbering; and there are also a number of missing page numbers. Some of these correspond to the interior drawings; the rest are not in the page scans & presumably contained material not part of this story. I have counted each scanned page including the original magazine cover.
    • The HTML version includes a table of contents.
    • An extensive list of typographical corrections made, & of some inconsistencies not changed, is given at the end of the publication.
    • "Release Date: March 21, 2007 [eBook #20869] Most recently updated January 16, 2009"
    • "Illustrations have been moved to the appropriate place in the text." The drawing now on p. 415 was originally on p. 391; that now on p. 549 was originally on p. 529; that now on p. 544 was originally on p. 540; & that now on p. 653 was originally on p. 611. Note that this reversed the order of the two drawings from the second installment.
