 bar-code number truncated by too-small field: 07242 00295 6 14779

where the final element is the only part identifying this book: second gives merkin cover price in cents, and first does not identify ace books, but may identify the primary news distributor or similar.

 berkley publishing group ace books imprint mmpb first printing, first edition

dedication: this one's for anne aka supersister

cover art by walter velez (signed, credited)
cover price $2.95 ($3.95 can)
192pp. including 4 unnumbered pp. titles, indica etc; no end pp.

distinguish from undated second ace books mmpb printing by reference to the printing history number line dropping the first digit '1' leaving the lowest remaining digit '2'

there've been at least two further reprintings bearing the same isbn, cover art, etc.

 appears to be headline books second p/b printing, undated but prob'ly not 1989.
refer to printing history number line, lowest digit remaining indicates printing number.

 reference copy provided courtesy of tony at the old pier bookshop, morecambe seafront.

first in the second trilogy full of prat-falls, portentously doomy sayings and riotously simple-minded yumor for which the cover artist employed by headline, josh kirby, should not be held responsible.

#1: "a malady of magicks" (1986), q.v. for the two trilogies' listings and links.

 bar-code number truncated by too-small field: 978074723213100299

(the final five digits being the uk cover price in pence (£0.01))

the use of "on" in the typesetting line is incorrect, but "sic".
