ppint. 10th Jan 2018		collection of twenty-two stories, mostly fantasy or borderline, some sf, at least one neither, first edition published by doubleday (1959 us).



ppint. 5th Sep 2023		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). (this comment is from another edition of this book)
