 abp/methuen second p/b edition/printing, bearing new uniform "methuen simak" cover design created after the editorial director conveyed my point(s) about creating a recognisable continuing image for each author on "my" methuen sf list to the art director. (sometimes there are few enough people in a corporate publisher's manglement's chain of communication for sane results to transpire...)

 appears to've been prepared by macfadden books for their third printing before bernarr macfadden's corporate mini monster was broken up, and macfadden books transmogrified into manor books: publishing history states all three printings were by manor books, thereby accounting this first manor books printing as manor books' third...

cat# is a slightly ellided form of the macfadden books' cat# format°, in which the first two digits are the mmpbs' cover price in ¢, which would fit in with its having been scheduled and prepared for publication by macfadden as their intended thrid printing(/edition) immediately prior to their reorganisation into manor books, inc.

° - the hyphen being omitted

 still using the plates/typesetting of the first two/three (or four/six, depending upon how one accounts canadadian-carcassed printings, and whether the first manor books edition is what's recorded as the third macfadden books editions/printings) macfadden books printings published by macfadden books, variously part of the macfadden-bartel minimonsterconglomerate - to which manor books, inc. is/was the successor company; and which plates (typesetting), indeed, were used for the first two manor books editions/printings in 1973 & 1975.

i've accounted this 1977 mmpb the second printing of the 1975 second manor books edition as it uses the same unattributed garish pinky-purple cover art as that, as distinct from the largely typographical cover of the 1973 first manor books mmpb edition; though this bears a new cat#.
