 five near-identical editions/printings, two first printings (!) sharing merkin-printed covers, and hence also cat#,

cover art by jack gaughan (credited, art is signed with his "jg" monogram)
b+w frontispiece by jack gaughan (signed likewise)
near-meaningless daw books no. 152
cover price $1.25
208pp? including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

refer to indica to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed.
no priority established nor liable to be, both state first printing, date, number-string, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

check number-string for progressively dropped numbers, 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 = third, through 5 6 7 8 9 = fifth, printings.

cover price rises to $1.50 with sixth printing, 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14, cat# UW1340, isbn 0-87997-340-4, date 10/1977 from jaffery

$2.25 with seventh, 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14.., UE1641, isbn 0-87997-641-1, 7/1981 date from jaffery,
drops near-meaningless daw books collector number from cover

then cover art (& cover design) change, art to vincente segrelles', from daw books eighth printing 6/1985.

 Rated 4/10
retelling the arthurian legends and inventing new stories has been a growth industry for nigh-on a millennium, whether as courtly tales, historical novels or romances; but this tale steps across the line into von danniken territory, positing merlin as an "ancient astronaut" . . .

not one of the author's better-conceived novels, nor one of her better-written.
