David Whiteley 7th Oct 2022		Maybe I should have said "First Arrow edition" (this comment is from another edition of this book)

(this comment is from another edition of this book)



23skidoo 11th Sep 2022		@David Whiteley LOL. All good - I've done that a lot myself! (this comment is from another edition of this book)



David Whiteley 8th Sep 2022		23skidoo. Thanks for commenting on this book. I re-visited it to see if there was any information about the author and discovered that I had misspelled the name. It should be Peter Gorge. I have requested a correction. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



23skidoo 8th Sep 2022		As it's not an uncommon name, is it confirmed this is the same Peter George who wrote Dr. Strangelove? (this comment is from another edition of this book)



David Whiteley 7th Apr 2022		Added back cover from a 1966 second impression. Note the Australian price has changed from 8/- to 80c between the 1st and 2nd printings. (this comment is from another edition of this book)
