refer to indicia publishing history to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed
no priority established nor liable to be, both stating first publication/printing date of june 1977

canadian-carcassed copies bear a white maple leaf symbol top of front cover near the spine stating printed in canada; this may not refer to the card cover; check any statement elsewhere on the card cover, including on inside front & back

Book
Sydney J. Bounds - The Robot Brains (1957)
cat# is wrong and should^W has been deleted

this is the brown, watson ltd. digit books imprint p/b first printing published ~1957 it bears no cat#

the attributed cat# R521 is that of the second printing, and not correctly given to this first printing.

brown, watson ltd. habitually allocated new cat#s to each new printing; the letter indicates the cover price, (none = 1'6 but these likely bear no cat# at all, just as some - the earliest - of the 2/- don't)

digit books numbering started in 4/1958 with cat# D139 (source aligemkr-books.blogspot.com)

digit books cat# price code letters: D = 2/-, R = 2'6
