 the leisure books isbn publishers prefix of 08439 plus the next two "00" gives a calculated partial sum° of 179;

had this been a real, legitimately issued isbn10;
.
the next two digits ("25") would've given a full sum°° of 195.

195 ÷ 11 = 17 remainder 8, to which remainder 3 must be added to give 11:
.
so the checksum digit would've been "3", and the isbn10 in full would have been 0843900253.
.
so the number claimed by nordon publications, inc. to be the isbn10, 0843900259, is a fake.
.
every isbn on a nordon publications book that ends with the exact same digits as the book's cat# is suspect, and needs the correct checksum digit calculating afresh for comparison with that claimed.
.
.
° 0 x 10 = 0; 8 x 9 = 72; 4 x 8 = 32; 3 x 7 = 21; 9 x 6 = 54, 0 x 5 = 0; 0 x 4 = 0.
.
0 + 72 + 32 + 21 + 54 + 0 + 0 = 179
.
°° 2 x 3 = 6; 5 x 2 = 10

179 + 6 + 10 = 195
.

 "pel torro" is a john spencer & co. ltd. badger books house name used mostly (as here) by r. l. fanthorpe, q.v., and also by harry o. mansfield.

 purported isbn on spine, 0 • 8439 • 00529 • 095, is a fabrication by nordon publications:
with the removal of the last three digits (the cover price in ¢) and the purported checksum digit, what remains would not have given rise to a checksum digit of "9", and has clearly been manufactured from the cat# sans alpha cover price code letters by someone ignorant of the purpose and calculation of the checksum digit.

 this flamingo books imprint appears to be associated in some way with thorpe & porter ltd. of leicester, or a successor company; it is totally unconnected to the william collins & sons/fontana books (later harpercollinspublishers) flamingo imprint.

 the unattributed cover art is a detail from the 1968 tower books mmpb edition cat# 42-185, q.v.

some or all copies of this leisure books mmpb edition contain a full-colour, glossy paper cigarettes advertisement bound into the book carcass.

 unknown publisher's flamingo books imprint p/b first printing of sorts, first uk edition -
with no uk address for publisher nor printer almost certainly criminally illegal

cover art is cropped from the earlier, also unattributed, 1968 tower mmpb cover art, q.v..
cover price 30p
isbn (created by nordon industries, inc. for their leisure books mmpb) is a fake
144pp. (check) including titles, indicia (for merkin mmpb) etc, end pp.

 two near-identical printings/editions sharing merkin-printed covers and therefore cat#,

unattributed cover art
cover price 50¢
144pp? including titles, indica etc, end pp.

refer to indica to see if the carcass of the copy you hold was canadadian or merkin-printed.
no priority established, nor now liable to be.
