 the 1978 sphere books edition has cover price £0.95 (95p), isbn 0722123019.
the second & the 1979 third sphere printings have this same isbn.

so, depending on the cover price (& cover art), this must be: the 1980 4th sphere books printing, cover price £1.10, with the same cover art from the third printing of a single frozen tower reminiscent of the gpo tower, euston, london; or, the 1982 5th printing; or, the 1985 sixth printing, cover price £2.25 with cover art by steve crisp of the houses of parliament & st. stephen's tower surrounded on all sides by ice. . .

but whichever, it ain't any of the 1978 (or 1979) printings.

isbn should be changed to the 1978 isbn, 0722123019
(or date of this item removed and left blank)
