grosset & dunlap charter communications sunridge press tp/b first printing, first edition
later accounted their first p/b printing in the first mmpb printing over-all by ace°, which is stated to be the second p/b printing

cover art by sanjulian (credited)
b+w interior illustrations by esteban maroto (credited on back cover)
cover price $5.95 (well, actually states u.s.a. 0005.95 canada 0005.95)
192pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc.


° - this sunridge press tp/b bears a grosset & dunlap/charter communications isbn, 0-441-11683-3; the cat# is in the ace books five-digit cat# system: so it'd appear sunridge press was a grosset & dunlap group (including ace books after their purchase by grosset & dunlap) imprint, was considered equivalent to being an ace imprint, and which later likely became an putnam / berkley publishing group imprint.
