ppint. 20th May 2023		sphere books' cat#s did not rise in any observable systematic sequence with reprintings / new editions with new cover art, and might actually fall lower than the/an earlier printing/edition. i've no idea why (/why not), and doubt anyone now remembers why (not), even if yet amongst the living. - try enquiring of sphere books' undead ex-employees - ?

ppint. 8th Jun 2019		thomson books ltd. sphere books p/b (possibly still 1970, but later second printing, i think - ppint.) cover art uncredited, unsigned cover price 6/-, 7/25 (shillings) east africa, 75c south africa, 95c australia, 85c new zealand so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule - or not so re-flagged, according to equally well-respected moderator's heartfelt plea 224pp. including titles, indica etc, end p. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 14th Jun 2018		this is probably the second sphere books printing, possibly later than 1970, - unless the cover price (6/-) went *down* (to 5/- (25p), australia 80c, new zealand 80c, south africa 60c, east africa 6/00) on the eddie jones art-covered cat# 66842 1970 p/b. - which is not impossible, publishers being the well-oiled° organisations of frequently fallible infighting farceurs they are; but would not normally be the best bet. otoh, the lower cover-priced edition does give a post-decimalisation alternatively-denominated uk price. . . ° - double entendre bien entendée°° °° - et oui, je sais que l'expression, "double entendre", en français n'existe plus (this comment is from another edition of this book)
