• Notes: First printing with a 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 number line. My copy does not have a dust jacket and thus the price and cover artist could not be physically verified. However, Amazon has a Look Inside for this publication that shows the dust jacket flaps (verifying the price), copyright page (identical to mine), back flap (verifying the cover artist). The back flap says "A Book-of-the-Month Club copublication" but it's not clear what this means. The publication appears to be a retail edition. Each story in this anthology is preceded by a 1/2 to one page biography about the author. The story The Angel of Violence by Adam_Wiśniewski-Snerg was translated from Polish to English by Thomasz Mirkowicz for this anthology. The story Good Night, Sophie by Lino Aldani was translated from Italian to English by L. K. Conrad. The story Liquid Sunshine by Alexander Kuprin was translated from Russian to English by Leland Fetzer.
