Note to Moderator:

The first four old bullet points (first set) evidently refer to the title page verso, the last two to the dustjacket. Tp verso also identifies the font. Referring to a copy I correct the publisher (imprint) and verify all except [1] publ date per Amazon months later, which I replace in that bullet point above; [2] not sure Riordan is the author of the two "Essays" below. One of those is merely the location where hieroglyph art by MGK is concentrated; see my explanation above. I first viewed "Verify This Pub" but it seemed premature for me to complete that.
