| | should you have access to such a sixth printing ballantine mmpb printing, it'd be greatly appreciated
if you'd check the cover price and the whereabouts the carcass of the copy held, and post a comment ''here'' confirming both its cover price and the wording from the publishing history stating where the carcass (or ''book'') was printed°.
(° - as opposed to where the card covers were printed.)
thank-you. love, ppint. (this comment is from another edition of this book) |

orion publishing group m-d took the idiotic decision to junk the most prestigious publishing imprint name in the history of uk publishing of sf, and to absorb the entire victor gollancz sf & fantasy lists into the orion publishing group's sf & fantasy imprint, millennium. - ''publishers!''
this insane decision was not reversed until malcolm edwards returned to the orion publishing group as its m-d - after which, the elsewise identical books rightly became gollancz science fiction (or fantasy) masterworks upon their next impressions.
