    • Because the copy used for this data wasn't new when purchased, it is unknown whether this edition was accompanied by a CD as the Viking hc appears to have been; however, probably not, given that the Viking cover apparently has "including bonus music CD" printed on it, but, on the copy used for this data, this has been replaced with "This special intergalactic paperback edition ... " without any reference to a CD.
