I think this is a reference to the page between the contents and
chapter one (of the Picador, Pan Books, London, 1975 edition) that has
the following:

                        \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

                          \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

                            \/\/\/\/\/\/\/

                              \/\/\/\/\/

                               \/\/\/\/

                                \/\/\/

                                 \/\/

                                  \/ o

printed on it.  (Each "\/" is really just a "V", but I can't get the
centering right with just a "V", and the "o" is a period.)

I noticed this wasn't in the US paperback that a friend was reading.
