 two near-identical re-printings both 9/1963, same unattributed cover art;
new cat# F2637 (may be distinguishing merkin & canadadian-printed book carcasses sharing merkin-printed covers, but this is not known);

fourth printing cat# & date not yet seen/seen reported,

fifth printing cover price 60¢, cat# H3398, 5/1967;

S5268 cover price 75¢ may be 9/1967

all of the above sharing the same cover art, all 186 (183 numbered) pages.

(by) fourteenth printing, N8098, bears new, as-yet still-unidentified cover art, design, cover price 95¢
fifteenth printing retains this cover art & design, cover price now $1.25
sixteenth printing adopts sbn9/isbn10, (0)553103903 new cover art, design, cover price $1.75, 6/1977
seventeenth printing 0553204262, new cover art and design, cover price $2.25, 9/1981, indica includes string of printing numbers absent numbers 1 through 16.
all still 186 (183 numbered) pages

numbers (low thousands?) of some printings imported by transworld publishers, stamped with uk price on their front covers, and distributed in the yuk-of-gb-&-ni (and probably some countries in western yeurrp as well as gibraltar, and possibly also malta and cyprus).

 collection of twenty-two stories, mostly fantasy or borderline, some sf, at least one neither, first edition published by doubleday (1959 us).

 this is a chimaera, conflating one printing's cat# with a different printing's cover price.

the original poster does not include enough information to identify which printing was intended and was probably entered, book unseen, from inaccurate information on e.g. worldcat (or similar).

 cat# is wrong for cover price stated: H was the bantam books mmpb cat# prefix for 60¢.

1960 bantam books mmpb printing was A2069, cover price 35¢

1963 bantam books mmpb printing was F2637, cover price 50¢
