Notes

  1. Concerning the odd choice of artwork, Howe has stated: "I swear I had nothing to do with the sub-rights sale and the choice of the picture. Honest! I rarely interfere in sub-rights sales made by the editor, but there are times when I wonder if a little help choosing the right pictures might not be called for.."
