(So stated in the book, Amazon UK reports. Early in April the UK publisher announced this work forthcoming later that month.)
- Publication date from contemporary review by Kirkus (see the novel record)
- Library of Congress (LCCN, below) reports: -- "[1st ed.]" -- "0689301294 (lib. bdg.)" (only one ISBN) The former indicates 1st edition inferred or investigated rather than stated; the latter a library binding format.

- Cover artist is interior illustrator Gill, as expected, and plainly from comparison with cover images of other Arthur/Gill collaborations.
