Cheshire cat artwork on insert by Mike Moyle. Two inserts were made for marketing test purposes.
In the Summer of 1993, it was decided to try yet another insert, this one stressing Isaac Asimov's role in the brunch. The insert was designed by Alice Lewis. Background is green with the spine and heavy text (Argossy Art Noveau) dropped out in white; the rest of the text is in black. 300 inserts were printed in August 1993.
As an experiment Chris Cooper (in the U.K.) made 12 PAL format (U.K., Netherlands, West Germany...) and 2 MESECAM/SECAM-W format (Russia, CIS, east Germany, Saudi Arabia...) to see if there would be a market for it. This was to debut at Helicon, 9-11 April 1993 at St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands.
