Comment by ppint.:

distinguish between this true first edition and the near-identical doubleday science fiction book club h/cvr (6/1956) first (and any subsequent) printing by their lack of the indicia statement "first edition".

cover d-j price in canada $3.50 but i do not know if this was a separately-printed d-j or no.
