  • Please see this publication record's bibliographic comments for a note on the story title.
  • Assumed first printing. There is no number line. The printing date is not stated explicitly but the evidence that points towards 2009 is "PM Press|2009" on the title page, "October 1, 2009" on Amazon.com, and the following on the copyright page,
    • Kim Stanley Robinson © 2009.
    • This edition © 2009 PM Press.
    The date from Amazon.com is used for this publication record as it seems accurate.
  • Publisher's page: https://secure.pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=166.
  • The cover photograph is by John Yates / Stealworks.com.
  • The quotes are part of the interview title for "A Real Joy to Be Had". Several different sub-titles are used in the publication. The publication title page has "Outspoken Interview." The table of contents has "Outspoken Interview with Kim Stanley Robinson." At the beginning of the interview it's "Kim Stanley Robinson interviewed by Terry Bisson."
  • It's assumed this is the first publication of the "A Real Joy to Be Had" interview. The table of contents lists first publication information for "The Lucky Strike" and "A Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions" but says nothing about the interview.
  • Transient verification is against a public library copy. I can easily retrieve this publication if needed for a verification question. ~Marc Kupper.
