Notes:
"According to Mark Askam, Gruffyground Press: A Bibliography, 1972-2007 ... John Heath-Stubbs wrote two slightly different versions of the poem 'Silverfish.' He could not decide which version to use, so it was decided that one half of the publication would be printed with one version of the poem and the other half with the other. ... Being completely blind, John Heath-Stubbs had to have his hand placed in the correct position on each colophon page in order to sign the copies. This accounts for the huge variation in his signatures and their most interesting, if rather illegible, nature."--Moss.
