* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Fforde had been writing ''The Big Over Easy'' for over a decade prior to its actual publication, and a lot of stuff changed during that time. Jack was originally going to be the Watson to Friedland Chymes's Literature/SherlockHolmes, which is even called out at one point in early narration.

Another opener showcased the moments of Humpty Dumpty's death, and a third variant showed the legal proceedings in the Three Pigs murder trial.
