annaloog 26th Sep 2022		It is linked because of author name and English title. I don't know how the 3-vol. edition was presented, perhaps the English title will need adjusting. I have a 1-vol. Dell edition (not yet ready for prime time), that has 10 parts (First through Tenth Days), with 10 Tales per Part, plus Foreword and Conclusion. Despite being advertised as "complete, unexpurgated', it has roughly 200 fewer pages than your Penguin edition. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



23skidoo 26th Sep 2022		@annaloog. Very possibly. Question is where it was physically printed. In the past when I've tried to be specific on a Penguin in terms of country somebody has said it should be "international" so I default to that whenever I do a Penguin now (at least those that list multiple countries on the copyright page). Especially in the 80s it was common for British imports to get Canada-specific price stickers like this, including children's annuals and Doctor Who novels. EDIT: I just noticed this is linked to a version of the work published as 3 separate books. This being a single-volume edition, should it be "delinked" from those? (this comment is from another edition of this book)



annaloog 25th Sep 2022		Judging from the Penguin adhesive label covering the 'usual' price indicators on the back cover, this appears to have been intended for sale in Canada. There are similar labels with USA prices on some of the Penguins in my collection, such as this Erskine Childers pb. (this comment is from another edition of this book)
