ppint.
2nd Oct 2023
 random house group ballantine books revised edition mmpb second printing, over-all sixth mmpb printing?°

cover art by don brautigam (unsigned, credited detail from inside cover art of first revised printing)
cover price $1.50
184pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising


° - the indicia publishing history is a mess, and requires deciphering:

first revised edition:
first printing: april 1976
sixth printing: august 1977
first special printing august 1976
first edition: june 1956
fifth printing: february 1974
sixth printing: september 1977

i do not believe that there were four (unlisted) printings of the revised edition between the first, in april 1976, and the sixth printing listed immediately after it, for august 1977;

nor that the unrevised edition received a further ballantine mmpb printing after the revised edition mmpb was published by ballantine books - so the sixth printing: september 1977 seems to be a phantom;

and i've no idea what the hitherto unmentioned ''first special printing'' listed for august 1976 was;

on top of which, the listed february 1974 printing does not appear to exist in the real world...


so i'd fairly confidently state that the two listed 1977 printings for august & september are both of the second mmpb printing of the revised edition - they're both p/bs of the same extent, and both are longer than the 160pp. of the unrevised edition's setting;

that the first revised printing was probably the fifth ballantine mmpb printing over-all;

and the listed february 1974 fifth printing of the unrevised edition probably does not exist;

- but i've still no idea what the 8/1976 special printing actually was, and why it wasn't an mmpb printing.
