ppint. 3rd May 2023		this is the last uk p/b edition of which i'm aware; severn house appear to've published a uk h/cvr edition under the title, ''earth'', in 1996, but though yr hmbl srppnt. has (some of) the data for this edition, i didn't stock it and have never even seen a copy - let alone've ever held and examined one. if adding ''earth'' by piers anthony dillingham jacob writing as ''piers anthony'' as a bookcat item, please include ''chthon'' in the english title field: this will allow bookcat to sort it correctly together with all of these editions. thank-you. ppint.
