| | Rated 8/10more drink than food - and more sfnal tall tales, puns, etc. than drink. . .
lovely entertaining stories in the ''competing raconteurs in a bar tradition'', with an added inclination towards puns...
- puns, and peanuts. . .

| | berkley publishing group ace books imprint mmpb undated° 5th printing by number line, which only makes sense if the berkley publishing group started accounting afresh with either the first berkley imprint mmpb, or with the first ace books mmpb after the berkley imprint mmpb editions.
cover art by vincent difate (signed, dated © v.difate '81)
cover price (canada $5.99) $4.50 u.s.
192pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising
° - dated by my interpolation of ace books prices for mmpb books of this extent, combined with the raising of their canadadian cover pricemark from $5.95 to $5.99
the next mmpb edition of ''callahan's crosstime saloon'' known is the tor books 12/1999 first printing (this comment is from another edition of this book) |
