  • The copyright page contains the complete Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data including the year of publication (1987), the ISBN (0-441-37969-9), and the LCCN.
  • Month of publication "11/87" printed on the back flap of the dustjacket.
  • The title as stated on the copyright page: Jack, the Giant-Killer / The Jack of Kinrowan: A Novel of Urban Faerie. The title page gives the title and author credit as Jack • The Giant • Killer by "Charles • de Lint". As this appears to be a designer choice, and not one of the author's, the simpler form of the copyright title is being used for this record.

  • There are eight unnumbered pages before the roman-numeraled ones. They have been added to this record in order to place the frontispiece.
