 dell mmpb first printing, first p/b edition
(first edition was the walker books h/cvr, but i've not myself ever seen this in the wild)

cover art unsigned, uncredited; believed to be by dean ellis°
cover price 95¢
192pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising

the number-string on the spine is neither an isbn, nor yet an sbn, lacking a ninth, checksum digit

° - should the original painting be found, it'll likely be signed with his initials, if it truly is by him
