ppint. 10th Mar 2023		granada publishing group panther books imprint p/b first printing, first uk p/b edition cover art by michael johnson (signed somewhat illegibly, credited on back cover, reproduced on michaeljohnsonartist.blogspot.com/search/label/Panther%20Books) cover price 40p, 95c south africa, $1.25 australia, $1.25 new zealand, $1.25 canada (!)° 256pp. including titles, indicia etc, 5 end pp. advertising ° - it seems a little unlikely faber & faber could grant a p/b licence for canada, given doubleday had already granted these, together with the merkin p/b rights, to avon books in 1969, and avon kept the book pretty solidly in print, reprinting at need, through at least 1987 - and even beyond...
