    • Information from ePub/Nook & Kindle versions borrowed from public library through Overdrive.com on 2017-01-08.
    • Copyright page of ePub version states eISBN 978-1-440-68837-9, while copyright page of Kindle states eISBN: 978-1-440-68836-2. Books appear to be identical in all other respects.
    • Both versions mention "First Paperback Printing, March 2009" on copyright page. No printing number line or version number.
    • "Copyright © 2007 by Michelle Sagara" on copyright page. Author's name given as "Michelle West" on title page.
    • Copyright page does not mention the DAW Collectors number.
    • Under title on title page: A House War Novel
    • Publisher given as "DAW Books, Inc." on title page.
    • No pictorial cover included in actual e-book - "cover" just reproduces the title page. Bookseller sites and e-book readers may associate the ebook with a cover, probably the same one as the print version.
    • There is an uncredited illustration of a rose on the title page. It also appears at the beginning of each chapter.
    • Different formats had different ISBNs: Microsoft Reader 9781440688324, Adobe Reader/PDF 9781440688331, eReader 9781440688348, Mobipocket 9781440688362, per archived Diesel ebooks (click on Details tab).
    • ePub format under ISBN 978-1-440-68837-9 appears to have been released later, exact date unknown. Archived Barnes & Noble site still shows eReader ISBN as late as 2010-04-19.
    • Pre-publication information on archived publisher's site as of 2009-02-14 gives release price as $24.95. However, it is not clear that ebook ever was sold under that price. Archived Amazon.com page for mass-market paperback on 2009-03-11 gives Kindle price as $7.19, which is probably discounted. That was just 8 days after release. The Diesel ebooks link above is the first I can find that shows the full digital list price, which was $8.99 on 2009-06-09.
