ppint. 16th May 2023		allison & busby h/cvr first printing, first edition cover (d-j) art by keith roberts (signed; i didn't note if credited on d-j flap), the artist is also author, q.v. cover (d-j) price £2.25 168pp. (re-check) including titles, indicia etc, bound with endpapers between covered boards



David Whiteley 19th Nov 2023		I've added the copyright page which shows the catalogue No. is correct apart from the leading "0" and it should be a SBN rather than an ISBN. The backward h is on the cover of other Berkley Medallion books published around the same time. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



annaloog 19th Nov 2023		I've been wondering if the 'backward h' might be a control character for machine-readable text, used at a time (1970s) before digital scanners and computers became ubiquitous. I have a number of Berkley books whose covers bear the same monospace type font for the book number. The '425-02534-075' no. isn't really an ISBN ... it appears to have been adapted from the SBN for retail inventory purposes. The ISBN-10 as shown is possibly correct for this title, but I'm dubious that it was actually assigned to this edition. mod edit: ISBN-10 removed (this comment is from another edition of this book)



23skidoo 19th Nov 2023		I have never seen the backward h in an ISBN before, and only ever on this cover. I wonder what it signifies? (I'm going to ask this in the forum). (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 20th Nov 2020		publisher should^W has been emended to ''berkley medallion'' as bookcat publisher goes by imprint. n.b. book cover bears the number-string 425-02534-075(backward h), not the isbn entered in the field. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



David Whiteley 19th Nov 2020		Added back cover from 1974, 1st paperback edition. 2nd 1974 printing is identical apart from a line on the copyright page reading "Reprinted 1974". (this comment is from another edition of this book)
