    • Price from review by Jeffrey M. Landaw The Sun (Baltimore) 1978-02-26 pD5 "The Wasp: allowed to sting at last" (not too much an anti-climax; why did Tenniel refuse to illustrate it? Gardner speculates)
    • Publication date inferred from that review, a notice in The Sun -02-12 pD5 that it "is to be released", and the apparent absence of January newspaper coverage. (In October it was reported forthcoming in January.)

    • Cover image from Amazon UK 2018-04-13 for this ISBN, when Amazon US shows another copy as ASIN B002PZCX4Y. For this ISBN Amazon US provides an image of the 1977 Macmillan UK ed. Numerous listings of 1977/1978 chapbooks at ABEbooks provide some description or some bookseller image; jointly they are decisive on most points. But many listings display a thumbnail "Stock image" of the wrong ed., and several of those if not others state the wrong ISBN.
