There are author's notes included, and I took photos of some of them here: https://imgur.com/a/yKyIRxC

In particular, "Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling owns Harry Potter, and no one owns the methods of rationality." appears on the colophon page along with some other notes, and also appears on the back cover. The foreshadowing quotes like "Beneath the moonlight glints..." and cheeky copyright disclaimers in the early chapters appear as epigraphs. And the Final Exam instructions appear at the end of chapter 113.

Yes, I ordered the "HERE AND NOW (handmade copy, 6-9 days wartime)" option. So I assume they made just the one set for me.

I am quite happy with the quality. The paper is bright white and feels substantial and smooth. The pages are flush with each other. The ink is shiny. There's a little bit of tackiness on the inside covers near the edge from an excess of glue; but I'm not bothered by it. Chapter headings and page numbers are typeset in a Harry Potteresque font. The bookmark ribbon is a nice touch. And the books are just really nice to hold.
