is the pyramid books imprint mmpb cat# X-2056 published 8/1969.


these two different pyramid books pyramid imprint mmpbs bear different artwork by different artists, and different pyramid books cat#s.


pyramid books published ''lest darkness fall'' by l. sprague de camp on two occasions, separated by over six years.


pyramid books did not keep their first mmpb edition in print for over six years.
