 number in the isbn13 field is^W was still wrong and still^W has now been deleted.

this book bears nor sbn9, nor isbn10, nor isbn13

isbn13ses weren't invented for another thirty years.

 when jack vance was delicately advised by a british fan of the meaning(s) of the word, "wank" (& its derivatives), his response was that he wished he'd known - he'd've had fun making veiled allusions to this, and using it a a plot device or even a major theme in the novel. :-)

 020-66900-050 is, i think, the abn (sans any checksum digit), plus the -050 giving the cover price in ¢:
it is not an sbn nor an isbn.

 granada publishing group mayflower books first printing, first uk p/b edition
