- Although I bought this book from Amazon, recently
it's shown there as “out of stock”; you may want to order
it directly from the publisher. Naturally,
you'll also want to read Dava Sobel's 1995 Longitude, which I read before
I began keeping this list.

- This book is out of print; use the link above
to locate used copies. Paperbacks published in the 1960s
and 70s are available in perfectly readable condition at
modest cost—compare the offers, however, since some sellers
quote outrageous prices for these mass-market paperbacks. University of Nebraska Press are in
the process of re-issuing “Doc” Smith's Skylark novels,
but they haven't yet gotten to this one.

- Autodesk old-timers who recall the IPO
era will find the story recounted on pages 153–157
amusing, particularly those also present at the first encounter.

- This novel is set in the U.S. during the
implementation of technology similar to that described in my 1994
Unicard paper. This is
one of those self-published, print-on-demand jobs: better than most.
It reads like the first volume of a trilogy of which the balance has
yet to appear. The cover price of US$19.95 is outrageous; Amazon sell
it for US$9.99. What is the difficulty these authors have
correctly employing the possessive case?
