Comments and Reviews


ppint. 27th Feb 2019		edition/printing produced for distribution by the uk subsidiary, and distributed in the uk: should be re-flagged uk.



ppint. 21st May 2018		it's probable that this particular edition/printing, or printing variant, was *only* distributed via universal-tandem publishing co. ltd., despite the presence of a dollar price next to the sterling price on the back cover, as it was extremely rare for merkin mmpbs' to bear their cover prices anywhere other than the front cover throughout this period - and, indeed, ever since the price of an mmpb started to rise above 25¢, and it became necessary for mmpbs to bear their retail prices individually; - and, without the merkin cat#, it'd've been impossible to find it in the merkin warehouse. . .
