  • Notes:
    • Fifth printing that states "First Printed in Paperback: February, 1989" over "10 9 8 7 6 5"
    • There is no advertising or other material that could help date the publication.
    • Listing the publisher as "Questar / Popular Library" in this record is only for consistency with the records of the other printings. It makes more sense to list it as either "Popular Library" or "Popular Library / Warner Books".
      • The title page has "Popular Library" over the Popular Library logo over "An imprint of Warner Books, Inc." over "A Warner Communications Company"
      • Facing the title page is an "Also by C.J. Cherryh" page of two other titles "Published by Popular Library"
      • The copyright page has "Popular Library Edition", "Popular Library, the fanciful P design, and Questar are registered trademarks of Warner Books, Inc.", and "Popular Library books are published by Warner Books, Inc."
      • The front cover has "Popular Library" over the ISBN/price and to the right of this in blue "Questar Science Fiction".
      • The spine has "Questar Science Fiction" in blue at the top and below the title "Science Fiction" over Popular Library logo, over "Popular Library", over the ISBN/price.
      • The back cover has the Popular Library logo and "Popular Library" over "Cover printed in U.S.A." over "© 1989 Popular Library"
    • "Cover illustration by Don Maitz" on copyright page. The cover is not signed.
    • There are maps on pages [vi] and [vii] that are not credited nor signed.
    • Like the second printing there is no separate ISBN for Canada
    • Priced for sale in Canada at C$6.99.
    • The spine was included in the cover scan as the price was so close to the edge it was getting cut off. While the artwork wraps onto the spine it does not wrap onto the back cover and thus is missing quite a bit of the original painting that's available on the hardcover edition.
