It was nominated for the 1980 National Book Award for hardcover science fiction, as well as both the British Fantasy and John W. Campbell Awards the same year. Inscribed by the author thus: "For Philip — I'm happy to have been able to sign a copy for so devoted a reader - they are not many, and precious to a writer. John Crowley, October 2000".
