Notes: • "1st ed." from the LoCCiP Data. • Fourth printing by the number line 0 9 8 7 6 5 4. • Jacket art by Thomas Pringle. • $32.95 in Canada. • The novel ends on page 362, followed by Acknowledgements (more an essay on the history of the novel) and Notes and References which could be sub-titled "How to Build an Alien", using real biological references to do so. Almost a short story.
