Note

Douglas Ball, Aberystwyth, reported 1/Apr/1977 that the front flap of dust-wrapper of their ordinary edition bears note: ‘250 copies of this book have been printed on hand made paper with special binding. One guinea each’; this information later confirmed that the B.L. copy ZCha is in fact of the limited edition.
