- This work is structured more as an anthropological study than a novel, and contains quite a number of separately titled poems, songs and stories. Some of them have been published by themselves.
- Of the first edition, Ursula writes (in Locus #301): The boxed hardcover with cassette, called the "deluxe edition" by the publisher came out simultaneously with the trade paperback. "The boxed hardcover sold out very promptly, but new boxes were produced for it. ... As for the unboxed hardcover without cassette, this is the "library edition" ... for librarians who thought they did not want to handle the cassette. If this means that there are actually three first edition, I can only say *sigh* -- forget it. The cassette is part of the book, anyhow."
