ppint. 7th Aug 2020		dennis dobson first printing, first uk h/cvr, first uk edition cover (d-j) art by ley kenyon (signed "kenyon") cover (d-j) price 8/6 192pp. including six mostly unnumbered pp. titles, indicia, p.v foreword by geoff conklin (1950), fictional introduction p.vi, (p.1 unnumbered, remainder numbered 2 -186) sewn in signatures and bound with end-papers between very dark red cloth-covered boards with title • author blocked in gold across top of spine in four lines, publisher's surname blocked in gold at foot of spine. printed by billing and sons ltd., guildford, surrey printer's code 644/R at foot of indica, also towards bottom of front d-j flap. dennis dobson kept this edition of the book on his catalogue through at least 1975, clipping the printed d-j price and overprinting the d-j stock with the higher price of 15s. this was later covered by a dobson price label of 18s. (? & 6d?) and later, 21s. (? & 6d?) there was presumably at least one further price relabelling with a decimal currency price.



ppint. 19th Sep 2023		''(fury)'' is not the subtitle, and should^W has been deleted from this field° the original title was ''fury'' - and this should^W has been entered in the english title field, after which bookcat will automagically sort together all editions of this title by this author correctly. ° - if a merkin publisher changed the title of a book upon producing their/a new edition, which practise became an epidemic of its kind amongst - mostly small mmpb publishers frequently specialising in what was then referred to as ''sleaze'' (virtually a publishing category in its own right) - the legible noting of the original title upon the front cover (and possibly elsewhere) was mandated by the FTC - the merkin fair (?federal?) trade commission.

ppint. 15th Sep 2018		thankfully the 1981 second hamlyn paperbacks printing/edition used new, and far better cover art. - our opening months' releases' covers were produced by the hamlyn publishing group's general books art department, who didn't have a clue about fiction paperback covers for trade distribution, let alone for sf (or fantasy) titles, as dennis either hadn't yet been employed as hamlyn paperbacks' art director, or hadn't yet had time to get the hamlyn paperbacks' art department up and running, when they were ah, "designed". i still have a couple of proof copies of hamlyn publishing group designs that were rejected out of hand - from when the hpg board was still trying to insist hamlyn paperbacks be identified as hamlyn publishing group books, with an "HP" (small capital "p" on the lower right-hand leg of a large capital "h") - which invited comparison with a certain brand of breakfast sauce, canned spaghetti hoops - or baked beans!

ppint. 4th Jun 2018		hamlyn paperbacks first printing, not first uk p/b edition: both hamlyn paperbacks printings include groff conklin's 1950 1p. forward. cover art unsigned, uncredited - as-yet still unattributed cover price 80p, rep. of ireland 88p 208pp. including titles, indicia, nf introduction, etc dreadful cover "art": but even so, this sold really well in bookshops whose buyers knew enough about sf to recognise the name "kuttner" from the golden age of sf°, and in the specialist sf bookshops including andromeda, as well as in the premier and original specialist sf, fantasy & horror uk bookshop, "dark they were and golden-eyed". (and no, no-one sfaiaa ever admitted to personal responsibility for the ah, sadly mistaken "new in paperback" strap-line. . .) ° - or, "the second golden age of sf" - ?
