    • Stated "First Edition". First printing by number line.
    • Info from Locus #263 (December 1982), which incorrectly gives the price as $9.00. The front dust jacket flap (and LCCN) give the price as $11.50. Cover artist credited on back dust jacket flap.
    • SFR #46 (Spring 1983) states the price also at $11.50, which is closer to the average hc price at that time.
    • The two sources for the higher price lead to the changing of the price until a physical verification can be made.
