Field notes
The press describes a distinction in method: the novel identifies its inventions in a note, while historical work is printed beside the documents it draws from. The cemetery volume is being assembled resident by resident from named source types, and the linked cemetery site is described as containing a deed, log book, plot map, and information about upkeep. The listed novel has a paperback ISBN and a stated price.
