• Notes:
  • "First Printing: May 1987" stated on the copyright page with a complete number line: "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1".
  • The title page gives the series name directly under the stylized title, so the title might be construed as Dawn: Xenogenesis.
  • The copyright page contains the complete Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data including the year of publication (1987), the ISBN (0-446-51363-6), and the LCCN.
  • "Book Design by Nicola Mazzella" stated on the copyright page.
  • "Cover Illustration by Enric" (over) "Jacket Design by Don Puckey" printed on the back flap of the dustjacket.
  • The title page repeats the graphic design used on the cover to designate author and title. The author's name lacks her middle initial in both cases, even though the spines of the dustjacket and book, the copyright page, and the running header throughout the book give the full name "Octavia E. Butler." This record chooses to use the full name, believing the cover and title page credits were an artistic choice, not an editorial one.
