ppint. 5th Dec 2017		second penguin books edition/printing, using their first printing's typesetting but with new cover art by david pelham cover price 35p 192pp. including titles, indicia etc. the new isbn is the first penguin books' edition's cat# 2536 with penguin's allotted publisher prefix, (0)-14-, "spaced out" with zeros up to nine digits, 0-14-00-2536- plus checksum digit: 0-14-00-2536-7° ° - this checksum digit is correct, which strongly suggests penguin books obtained the isbn legitimately, unlike those of some merkin mmpb publishers who tried creating fake isbns ad lib. and got 'em wrong...
