*note: Here's some detailed information kindly supplied by Michael Walsh via e-mail:
"Published by WSFA Press, May 1992 in honor of Pat's Guest of Honor appearance at the annual Washington, DC regional convention "Disclave" sponsored by the Washington SF Association (WSFA; hence WSFA Press).
"Only 500 copies were printed. The book contains an introduction by Mike Resnick, artwork by DC artist David Works (full color endpapers and 5 laid in full color plates), four stories by Pat ("Dirty Work", "50 Ways to Improve Your Orgasm", "Dispatches from the Revolution", and "Home by the Sea") and lastly an awesomely complete bibliography based upon Pat's own records plus some extensive outside research. The book measures approx 7 5\16 inches by 5 1\4 inches, is slipcased and was issued without a dustjacket (those color plates and edpapers are quite sufficient!) but with a stamped front board. Three piece binding, acid free paper (60# Glatfelter for all you paper fans out there!) All copies are signed by Resnick, Cadigan, and Works.
"About 100 remain for sale. If ordered directly the price is $49.95; we have to charge bookshops a much higher fee to recoup the cost of the book. Order direct!!!!
"The book has been called massively overproduced - which it certainly is!
"If you need more info, email me and I'll see what I can do." --Michael J. Walsh (Tuesday, 27 February 1996).
