This book is described as a novel with three separate stories of novel length.
- "This limited first edition ... has been privately printed and personally signed by Joyce Carol Oates, exclusively for members of the Signed First Edition Society" (p. [v]). p. [xiv]: "This signed limited first edition has been published by special arrangement with E.P. Dutton, Inc. and Jonathan Cape Ltd.". Thus it is likely that this was published "barely" before the Dutton edition (Feb. 1984). Copyright for special contents in this edition is 1984. Thus while the correct publication date may be Jan. or Feb. 1984, we use the Jan. date to maintain priority in the listings.
- Bound in full brown leather.
- Signed by author on p. [i].
- Interior art consists of several 2-page spreads.
- No ISBN; no price listed; no print run specified.
