| | n.b. there is no "missing second printing": the canadian-carcased simultaneous first printing was retrospectively accounted the second signet books mmpb printing, as was standard practice for new american library with such simultaneous first printings of signet and of its other imprint mmpbs (where it possessed the canadian rights and made such use of them), until late 1978 through late 1980 (iirc).
this also applies to daw books mmpbs produced and distributed for donald a. wollheim's company during this period. (this comment is from another edition of this book) |
