 the first page of the epilogue on p.141 is for some unknown reason followed by the rest of the epilogue found on pp. 7 & 8 - so reading order is: pp. 9-140, then 141, 7, 8.

no appendix or afterword is included.

 dedication: "for john and marjorie brunner, for, at least, the loan of the typewriter"

(a couple of rather strange "automiscorrectionsafterleavingtheword" introduced by tablettything into the "notes": for "voir" read "for"°, for ''excused'', ''excised'', for "oif", "of"°, and for "6Hb" read "6H". . .)
(° neither of these two of tablettything's preferred spellinges is a word in english, so yr hmbl srppnt.'s somewhat nonplussed.)
(and for "loosed ends", "loose ends", of course - but that one could've been a slip of the fnigger by yr hmbl srppnt.)
