Hardback. Issued in a cloth covered slipcase.

Two impressions issued:

1st Impression 1997 - 1,000 copies
2nd Impression 2000 - 980 copies

[Details of print run sizes supplied by HarperCollins]

The 1st Impression claims to be a limited edition of 1000 copies. Later impressions do not make this claim, although many people make the assumption.

Rumours that only 300 copies of the 1st Impression were actually saleable due to binding problems would appear to be untrue.
