Notes

Number of printed copies sourced from The Science-Fantasy Publishers: A Critical and Bibliographic History by Jack L. Chalker & Mark Owings, Third Edition Revised and Enlarged, The Mirage Press Ltd., September 30, 1991

Approximately the first six pages of the Dark Harvest edition appear in the Dark Harvest 1992 Preview book on  (unnumbered) pages 3-9.

It turns out that the Headline hardcover edition (first printing) was released with two different cover prices: £15.99 and £14.95. It’s believed that the price was reduced over time making the £15.99 cover price the first state of the first printing. (Thanks to Paul Evans for noticing this.)
