- identity · unknown: No cover photo was read: the imprint is New Riders per Open Library and the 2009 Barcodepedia page, while the publisher's store and AbeBooks name Peachpit Press.
- relationships · unknown: The printer is not named in any source read, and no source names the registrant of the ISBN publisher prefix 0-321, so no gs1_prefix_owner edge is given.
- images · not_researched: Open Library holds cover 193530, but no licence for reuse was found, so no picture is attached.
