 copies imported and distributed in the uk (at least°) by thorpe & porter ltd. leicester, bearing a not-intended-to-be-peelable blue label with tp and/or tepee limming logo, and uk price of 3/6.

° - possibly also elsewhere in the commonwealth, as thorpe & porter / strato (their publishing arm) had agents in south africa, australia & new zealand - and quite possibly elsewhere
