Signed and dated by the artist in white ink on a printed night sky of stars: "C. WARE 2005 A.D."
We presume this to be a first printing of the paperback edition. The paperback differs from the hardcover edition in that it has different covers and textual changes to the early pages where Ware notes this is a paperback replica of the original hardcover edition and mocks the glowing reviews for the book.
