ppint. 30th Jan 2018		this badger books' house name here disguising the writing of r. l. fanthorpe cover art by henry fox cover price 2'6 160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising



ppint. 25th Dec 2018		this book's cover art looks^W to've^W been^W has been shot up from a detail of another book's cover art. 6/3/2019: now all yr hmbl srppnt. has to do is rack their post-vegetablisation brain for a recent sight of said other book. . . 4-square/nel ??? - ??.. - arggggh!. ... what biblio've i worked on recently?

ppint. 3rd May 2018		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 .

ppint. 23rd Mar 2018		"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. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 23rd Mar 2018		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.

ppint. 30th Jan 2018		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. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 30th Jan 2018		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. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 30th Jan 2018		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. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 30th Jan 2018		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.
