    • Copyright page states that there was a paper edition but this does not appear to have been produced.

    • Copies were bound unsigned and authors were corned at the convention to sign whatever was available at that moment. Because of this some copies have no signatures and others are signed by one or more contributors.
    • Some copies did not have numbers and the publisher numbered them on-the-fly at the convention trying not to re-use numbers. Consequently there are observed numbers above the 700 copies officially listed. Some duplicate numbers may exist.
