Issue Notes

On inside front cover, which also contains indicia, towards the top of the splash page, there is a typo which bills this issue as "Number five", but the indicia correctly lists it as number 7. The publication date (Summer 2003) are listed correctly in both places, however.

First printing: July 2003
