- "Copyright (c) 1980 by Terry Carr" and ISBN on copyright page. No statement of edition or printing.
- Both 1st & 2nd verified copies have unclipped jackets with no printed price. (The UK experienced high inflation in the early 1980's, which might be why Gollancz did not print a price on the jacket.)
- Info from Locus #240 (December 1980), who received their copy in November 1980. It was published in October according to Amazon.co.uk.
