Notes
Per the "Introductory Note" in the collection Melancholy Elephants, this collection was put on remainder during the first week it was published due to Dell dropping its science fiction publishing line and earned the author no royalties as a result.
- "First printing—October 1980"
- No printer's key.
- "Cover painting by Larry Kresek, based on photo studies by Jay Kay Klein" on the copyright page.
- Some music entries are identified as "Poem" rather than "Essay". A choice of "Music" was not available (though perhaps should be).
