refer to indicia publishing history to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed
no priority established in date of publication, but canadian-printed carcasses drop the first digit from the printing history number line, leaving march 1984/23456789, which formally identifies them as the second printing; nal did this for all simultaneous canadian-carcassed first printings for about four-six years iirc:
