    • Prior to primary verification this record had an undated note "Data from publisher's website, except for cover artists from posts on the artists' Twitter accounts". This twitter post is linked to by both artists and credits them. The rear jacket flap has: Jacket design by Tyler Comrie and Rodrigo Corral Jacket photographs: Tulip © OGPhoto / Getty Images; bird of paradise © Mike Hill / Getty Images; palm tree © Graiki / Getty Images
    • While it's a subjective call, the cover designers have been credited as they blended the stock images to the point that none of them are individual recognizable.
    • The front cover has two elements that are not apparent. 1) There's an clear Mylar outer cover much like what's found on library books that's imprinted with a bear's open mouth with fangs about to bite. It's only visible when you tilt the book so that a light reflects off the front cover back to you. 2) Under the jacket, the front of the book is embossed with a stylized "Borne" in gold foil. A picture of this has been uploaded to BRNCZNMQXH2017_2.jpg.
    • The title page is split over two pages. The right hand side, which normally is the title page, has an uncredited photograph of a bear.
    • LCCN # 2016033244 is on the copyright page.
    • An Amazon Look Inside is available for this publication that includes all of the verification details other than the front cover with the gold foil "Borne", end flaps, and rear cover.
