Notes

written by r. lionel fanthorpe

this is a run-on of the leisure books mmpb cat# 259NK (1975), q.v., produced for possibly unlicenced distribution in the u.k. by news wholesalers

cover price 30p

there is considerable doubt as to the validity of the purported isbns borne by leisure books of this period - and, therefore, of books bearing this flamingo books imprint.

 the leisure books isbn publishers prefix of 08439 plus the next two "00" gives a calculated partial sum° of 179;

had this been a real, legitimately issued isbn10;
.
the next two digits ("25") would've given a full sum°° of 195.

195 ÷ 11 = 17 remainder 8, to which remainder 3 must be added to give 11:
.
so the checksum digit would've been "3", and the isbn10 in full would have been 0843900253.
.
so the number claimed by nordon publications, inc. to be the isbn10, 0843900259, is a fake.
.
every isbn on a nordon publications book that ends with the exact same digits as the book's cat# is suspect, and needs the correct checksum digit calculating afresh for comparison with that claimed.
.
.
° 0 x 10 = 0; 8 x 9 = 72; 4 x 8 = 32; 3 x 7 = 21; 9 x 6 = 54, 0 x 5 = 0; 0 x 4 = 0.
.
0 + 72 + 32 + 21 + 54 + 0 + 0 = 179
.
°° 2 x 3 = 6; 5 x 2 = 10

179 + 6 + 10 = 195
.

 this flamingo books imprint appears to be associated in some way with thorpe & porter ltd. of leicester, or a successor company; it is totally unconnected to the william collins & sons/fontana books (later harpercollinspublishers) flamingo imprint.

 unknown publisher's flamingo books imprint p/b first printing of sorts, first uk edition -
with no uk address for publisher nor printer almost certainly criminally illegal

cover art is cropped from the earlier, also unattributed, 1968 tower mmpb cover art, q.v..
cover price 30p
isbn (created by nordon industries, inc. for their leisure books mmpb) is a fake
144pp. (check) including titles, indicia (for merkin mmpb) etc, end pp.
