It was never in production, but was entered in Books In Print (BIP), and has created some confusion in the trade as it shared the same ISBN as SR(LS). To make matters worse, many catalogs had it listed as a Simon & Schuster book with ISBNs of 0743256107, 0743247787, or 0743247795. *|* The page count listed in BIP for the first edition hardcover is 288; however, the actual first edition page count is 273, while the uncorrected proof is 270.

The image on the paperback edition is the inverse of the hardcover (the girl is facing right, not left); the promo text and author name are in white instead of black; the title is in pink sans serif type, not the same white script as the hardcover; and there is a promo quote from the Observer review: "'She writes so well ... with an Anne Tyler-like wryness'" (see scan of cover at right).
