#second-wave yes, indeed; thank-you. with no merkin d-j price, and no merkin address, it seems a solidly uk h/cvr edition, whoever now owns severn house publishers.
- the world of publishing was quite confusing even when yr hmbl srppnt. was working as a specialist freelance editor (more-or-less) in it, and could ask questions of other people working within it directly.
- now i'm well out of it, and nearly every large publisher's been gobbled up by one of three or four big bad multinational megacorpses - and almost everyone else has joined in the takeover game. . . (this comment is from another edition of this book)
#ppint. This is indeed a h/cvr edition, with dust jacket, 192pp. It has £17.99 on the inside flap of the jacket front. No mention of merkin publishers. Hope this helps. (this comment is from another edition of this book)
#second-wave: is this in fact the announced merkin p/b, which just happens to've been produced in the uk, can you tell?
(the back image does not show the announced uk cover price, and since the uk publisher, severn house, was sold to a merkin publishers, it seems possible there might in fact be only one edition here, rather than two different editions...) (this comment is from another edition of this book)
