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
