 hodder & stoughton (?hodder fawcett or similar - check) hodder imprint p/b first printing,
may well be the first edition, as i've seen no trace of an earlier h/cvr edition.
two known states

cover art unsigned, uncredited; still as-yet unattributed sfaik
cover price 2'6 in line-drawn box bottom front cover towards spine
128pp. including titles, indicia etc.

no priority established, nor liable to be, both variations state first printing 1965.

 hodder & stoughton (?hodder fawcett or similar - check) hodder imprint p/b first printing,
may well be the first edition, as i've seen no trace of an earlier h/cvr edition.
near-identical edition/printing/first edition cover variation:

cover art unsigned, uncredited
cover price 2/6, aust. 4/-, can. 40¢, n.z. 3/3, s.a. 33c in tiny type in same front cover box,
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
128pp. including titles, indicia etc.

no priority established, nor liable to be, both variations state first printing 1965.

 manor books mmpb undated° first printing, not first mmpb edition

cover art uncredited, unsigned, over-large blow-up of a background detail from some as-yet unidentified inherited piece of art, flashed with large white arrow bearing apparently meaningless declaration "editor's choice s.f."†
cover price $1.50
cat# 15313
144pp. including titles, indicia etc.

° - no date of this edition's printing or publication given in the indicia, but it was distributed in (1977 or) 1978.

checksum digit of declared isbn10 checks out consistent with isbn rules

printed from same typesetting as previous macfadden mmpbs, manor books being the inheritor company and imprint thereof, but no mention of these being made in the indicia publishing history.

† - its use on more than one or two manor books mmpbs 1977-1978 may, rather, indicate manor books in fact had no editor . . .

 macfadden books simultaneous near-identical mmpb first printings, first mmpb edition, sharing merkin-printed covers

preceded by the hodder & stoughton hodder paperbacks uk p/b

cover art by jack faragasso (signed, also credited on back cover)
cover price 60¢
144pp. including titles, indicia etc.

refer to indicia to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed.
no priority established, nor liable to be, both stating only "a macfadden book ....... 1970"
