  Introduction is headed "Introduction [over] by Ken MacLeod", and signed "Ken MacLeod, 2015" on the last Roman-numeraled page, xi. The map, uncredited here, is the same as the map in Zones of Thought. Whereas in Zones of Thought the artist's signature "Elissa Martin 1991" appears in very small print at the far right on the bottom border, for this edition of A Fire Upon the Deep the bottom border has been redrawn further down and the signature obliterated. Map is on the second of three unnumbered pages between pages xi and 1. Novel starts on numbered page 1 and finishes on the last numbered page, 579. Semi-gloss cover.
