 first mayflower books printing/edition:
cover art by bob haberfield (uncredited, unsigned: stylistic comparison fits)
cover price 35p, $1.25 canada, $2.10 australia and new zealand
so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule
168pp? including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

near-identical printings/editions sharing the sbn or (with the addition of a "0" prefix) the isbn, and
cover art (though minor typographical changes occur):

indica publishing history: reprinted 1975 (so presumed second printing)
cover price 40p (no other prices reported)

published by granada publishing ltd. in mayflower books 1974
reprinted 1975, 1977 (so presumed third printing)
cover price 60p, canada $1.75, australia $1.75, new zealand (? $1.75 ?)

"mayflower science fantasy" line deleted from above author & title on front cover:
published by granada (books, group, publishing not reported)
indica publishing history incorrectly attributes panther books, stating:
published by panther books 1974, 1975, 1977, 1984 (so presumed fourth printing)
cover price rises to £1.50 (no other prices reported)

this last printing was probably published just before the determination of the uk & commonwealth english language licence, 1984 being ten years on from 1974, and ten years having been a normal period or duration of such a p/b or volume rights licence in the mid-seventies.
