  • Notes:
    • Cover is similar in style to that of Book One (1999); in the new painting, the bronze head has one eye open, it's under water (near a coral reef) (instead of the rainforest) and the kingfisher has segued into a gold & blue sea horse.
    • The contents of the original DD-U anthology are spread across Part One and Part Two, not in the original order. The Preface and Introduction are repeated.
    • The story lengths were determined from the original one volumne tp. Points to note are:
        The text is fairly well spaced
      • All stories start with a page (or two) with information about the author and an introduction to the story.
        All stories themselves start on the next new page.
        All stories are followed - on a new page - by an "Afterword" (by the author, except for the George Turner story). The Afterwords are up to 3 pages. (The Turner story has 2 Afterwords - one by his literary executor, Bruce Gillespie & one by his official biographer Judith Raphael Buckrich.)
        The page numbers given here (& as listed in the TOC, in most cases) are that of the author information.

      Note that same record applies for Book 1 - i.e. viewed as a 2 volume set.
