Notes: Indicia states "First Kitchen Sink Press Printing: June 1985" but also gives lists of copyright dates (for the story and the introduction) extending to 1995, so that is presumably the year this edition was issued.

Title on cover and title page is "A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories".
