The book credits and cast list. "Il 13 settembre 1999, attorno ad un tavolo della sala riunioni della base lunare Alfa, 10 staff direttivo discute un ordine del giorno particolare: come sopravvivere..." "On September 13, 1999, around a table in the meeting room of the Alpha Moon Base, 10 management staff discuss a particular agenda: how to survive..." In the credits, there are two typos- Lee H Katzin is "Katzen", and Sylvia Anderson is "Silvya" (an unusual version of the Italian "Silvia"). The new editions correct Sylvia's name, but still use "Katzen".
When reprinted in Volume 0- Il distacco and Volume 5- Al di là del tempo (1976), the layout of every page was changed, to fit a larger page size (with two columns of text per page in the 1975 edition, and a single column in the 1976 volumes). Some photos are flopped or cropped differently, and most are re-positioned. Only a few photos were changed.
