Comment by ppint. ●:

this ace books mmpb first printing bears only the 1964 copyright date;

ace F-320 is known to've been published as a 2/1965 title, and
F-337 is known to've been published 6/1965:
(they were the respective original novels' first editions);

so ace F-325 was first published from 2/1965 to 6/1965, and not in 1964.
