  • Notes:
    • 2012-09-01 - This is a stub record based on the copyright notice in the 2002 Bloomsbury edition which says "First published in Great Britain in 2001 by Little, Brown & Company" over "First U.S. Edition 2002". A record for this edition was not found in WorldCat. There does not seem to be a reliable Amazon.com nor Amazon.co.uk record for this edition. A scan of AbeBooks found evidence of:
      1. A tp format "Uncorrected Bound Proof From Little, Brown". The cover is grayscale with trees in the foreground and a city skyline in the background. One seller reports this has ISBN 0316854948.[Abe 1]
      2. A tp format edition with the same cover as the "Uncorrected Bound Proof" edition but in color. This is probably the Little, Brown and Company edition from 2001.[Abe 2]
      3. A tp format edition that some sellers also report as being "2001" but with a slightly different cover. The "new" cover still has the trees and skyline but the perspective is shifted down so there's much less sky. Below the title are several MDT⁃48 tablets. This is probably the February 2002 printing and is on Amazon as ISBN 0316854948 though Amazon's images are for the color version of the "Uncorrected Bound Proof" edition.[Abe 3, Amazon usa, Amazon uk]
      As all three editions likely have ISBN 0316854948 and likely are tp we are using those for this ISFDB publication record.
    • 2012-09-02 I had e-mailed Little, Brown and Company asking if they had a catalog from 2001. They responded 2012-09-02 with "Hello Marc, we do not keep old catalogs in stock and this title is from the UK, meaning it was not for sale in the US. We can however look up price history in our database. ISBN 0316854948 has been out of print for some time, but it is showing a Canadian price of 25.95$." ~Marc Kupper
    • The source for the June 2001 printing date is the National Library of Scotland but it's not certain if the "(Jun.)" on the MARC code 020 terms of availability sub-field is the printing month. [NLS]
    • The source for the £10.99 price is the data records for these UK libraries. [ TCD, BL, NLS, llgc]
