 publisher should not have^W have had " 1973 " in its name.

1972 first edition hardcover publishers, hutchinson & co.
arrow is/was hutchinson & co.'s main p/b imprint.

title should end in an "é" ("e-acute"), making it a voiced or pronounced vowel, and the word accordingly pronounced "mel-ni-bo-neigh", and not " mel-ni-bown ".
