 near-identical editions/printings sharing merkin-printed covers, and hence also cat#, isbn,

cover art by frank kelly freas (credited, signed)
near-meaningless daw books collector no. 567
cover price (canada $2.95) • u.s. $2.50
so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule
176pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

refer to indica to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed
both printed february, 1984 but canadadian-printed carcass bears number-string 23456789
wholly merkin-printed copies bear full first printing number-string 123456789
