===Errors in the first UK editions===
* There was an error in the initial printing of the first UK hardback and ANZ editions: the whole chapter 16 "Fathers" was missing. This resulted in recalling all stock and pulping it and moving the publication date from 7th to 21st of October 2002. Some early unofficial sales had likely already taken place, but the publisher promised to replace any erroneous purchased copies. The ISBN was 0002247275? and there were only 599 pages. The corrected version with chapt 16 has ISBN 0007160380, also shown on the new printed dust jacket, and 632 pages.
