ppint. 2nd Oct 2023		ballantine books first p/b printing, simultaneous first edition simultaneous with ballantine books h/cvr first edition, cat# H-151 cover art by richard powers (signed powers, uncredited) cover price 35¢ 160pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising



ppint. 2nd Oct 2023		random house group ballantine books mmpb revised edition third printing, seventh printing over-all cover art by don brautigam, retained from previous printing, miscredited again to don brautigan cover price $1.95 184pp. (check) including titles, indicia (ha!) etc, end pp. including nf historical note, advertising the indicia publishing history is still a mess, but slightly less so than the previous printing: a space is added after the puzzling special printing; and the unlikely strange sixth printing: september 1976, apparently of the unrevised edition, is deleted; unfortunately, an equally unlikely, implicitly unrevised: seventh printing: november 1979 presumédly referring to this third printing of the revised edition, takes its place. - ''eheu!''

ppint. 2nd Oct 2023		random house group ballantine books revised edition mmpb second printing, over-all sixth mmpb printing?° cover art by don brautigam (unsigned, credited detail from inside cover art of first revised printing) cover price $1.50 184pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising ° - the indicia publishing history is a mess, and requires deciphering: first revised edition: first printing: april 1976 sixth printing: august 1977 first special printing august 1976 first edition: june 1956 fifth printing: february 1974 sixth printing: september 1977 i do not believe that there were four (unlisted) printings of the revised edition between the first, in april 1976, and the sixth printing listed immediately after it, for august 1977; nor that the unrevised edition received a further ballantine mmpb printing *after* the revised edition mmpb was published by ballantine books - so the sixth printing: september 1977 seems to be a phantom; and i've no idea what the hitherto unmentioned ''first special printing'' listed for august 1976 was; on top of which, the listed february 1974 printing does not appear to exist in the real world... so i'd fairly confidently state that the two listed 1977 printings for august & september are both of the second mmpb printing of the revised edition - they're both p/bs of the same extent, and both are longer than the 160pp. of the unrevised edition's setting; that the first revised printing was probably the fifth ballantine mmpb printing over-all; and the listed february 1974 fifth printing of the unrevised edition probably does not exist; - but i've still no idea what the 8/1976 special printing actually was, and why it wasn't an mmpb printing.
