Sometimes referred to as Slant to reduce confusion, the Library of Congress data states: "The title consists solely of the slant sign". Original working title of the novel was Country of the Mind.
The British Orbit version simply states "Slant" on title page although it shows the "/" on cover and spine in addition.
