#5: ''doomsday on ajiat'' (1968), q.v.

quite a number of professor jameson stories published in the bedsheet pulps remained uncollected at the end of ace books mmpb series in 1968: at least seven novelettes, a short story and a poem

many of these spiffing adventures feature the dastardly^W friendly cyborg zoromes: but whether all do. . .

cover price 75¢
160pp. including 4pp. titles, indicia etc.

no isbn - nor even an sbn - is on the cover, despite the occasional statement by some that there is an sbn on the spine: what there is on the spine is the number string 449-02719-075; the first element is fawcett publications' publisher code; the last element is the cover price in three digits, but there is no checksum digit, which is one of the necessary defining elements of the nine-digit sbn.
