ppint. 19th Apr 2024		Book John Carnell - New Writings In Sf16 (1970)	6/1969 was presumably the month in which dennis dobson first advertised this original anthology would be published° - but the copyright date of 1970 does seem pretty conclusive, doesn't it - ? ° - traditionally, publishers advertised their new titles lists seasonally; this may've started off as a direct consequence of the link between the ecclesiastical and law terms, and a considerable proportion of early book publishing's catering to these two of the three oldest professions. by nineteen-sixties & seventies, this had long since settled down into a spring and an autumn list, with titles having their scheduled month of publication noted, where this had been decided upon (plus a dedicated christmas list from those publishers as indulged themselves in such). so titles might commonly be announced up to six months before their provisionally scheduled publication date - and then other factors might intrude, including matters from the real world™. . .

ppint. 18th Apr 2024		Book Laura Hale - Woman Hunter (1953)	notes section is wrong in saying that the first edition bore revised cover art, and the statement should be deleted: no practical tardises having been introduced by or during 1953, nobody could go back in time to ex-post-1953-factually publish a reprint edition of a 1953 original in 1952, with a cover revised in 1952 from that used in 1953.
