  • Notes:
    • The publisher is stated on the title page as "Vintage International" over "Vintage Books" over "A Division of Random House, Inc." over "New York"
    • First printing that states "First Vintage International Edition, April 1996", "Printed in the United States of America", "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1".
    • While this is classified as a trade-paper format it's a nearly paperback size publication. 5 3/16" x 8" (18.2cm x 20.3cm)
    • All of the stories in this collection are non-genre. As A. S. Byatt is above the threshold her non-genre stories have been indexed in ISFDB. However, Henri Matisse is below the threshold and so his interior art drawings are not indexed. Here is the pagination for the drawings and stories:
      • [1]: Interiorart: La chevelure, 1931-32.
      • [2]: (blank)
      •  3: Medusa's Ankles (listed as being on page 1 in the Contents)
      • [29]: Interiorart: L'Artiste et le modèle reflétés dans le miroir, 1937
      • [30]: (blank)
      •  31: Art Work (listed as being on page 29 in the Contents)
      • [87]: Interiorart: Nymphe et faune, 1931-32
      • [88]: (blank)
      •  89: The Chinese Lobster (the publication's Contents page incorrectly lists this as being on page 91. It should have been page 87 in the Contents)
      Henri Matisse is credited for the interior art on the copyright page.
    • The cover painting is credited on the back cover as "Le Silence Habité des Maisons, 1947 by Henri Matisse (1869-1954), Private Collection/Bridgeman Art Library, London."
