 cover art attributed to bill botten, i know not by whom - possibly bill botten, but these are not listed by him on his bookjackets, etc. website; so the attribution to him may be a misunderstanding°
cover price 5/- (25p), australia 80c, new zealand 75c, south africa 60c, east africa 6/00
so this edition should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule
160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising/data

° - after working as a freelance artist, and painting many p/b covers, including for sphere books, bill botten was sphere books' art director for a while - during which period, he did not stop painting - so in this period it could be artwork acquired by him for sphere books, rather than painted by him.
