 ace books mmpb undated first printing, first p/b edition

cover art by steele savage (unsigned, credited)
cover price 95¢
256pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

year of this edition taken from locus, year and month from bibliographer stuart wells
just one difference in end pp. advertising distinguishes this from undeclared second printing:
end pp. advertisements code numbers 8, 7, 14 identify this printing, postage given as 10¢ in all three.

 The "Martian flatcat" episode was, perhaps, the inspiration for David Gerrold's story, "The Trouble with Tribbles", from the original Star Trek TV series.

cover art by gordon c. davies (unattributed, sgned very bottom edge right, often guillotined off)
cover price 30p (6/-), spain 75 pts, australia $1.00, new zealand $1.00

n.b. (i)sbn bears no relationship to the cat#; both are entered correctly.
