    • The author posted on Twitter on 2022-01-16: "The new Ambergris trade paperbacks are definitive editions, but 1 thing is missing: a story told in numbers, decoded using words ID'd by para, line, and word sequence in the rest of City of Saints. It was a devil to create and couldn't be replicated past the first edition cause new typesetting meant I'd have to re-encoded w/ each new edition." He probably refers to The Man Who Had No Eyes, which is nonetheless part of this edition, but printed "decrypted", apart from the ending, which is half a page of numbers.
