 ballantine books near-identical mmpb first printings sharing merkin-printed covers

cover art by richard powers (unsigned, uncredited; attributed in ''the art of richard powers'' jane frank (2001), q.v.)
cover price 35¢
164pp. (check) including titles, indicia , table-of-contents etc, end p. advertising

refer to indicia publishing history to see if carcass of copy held was canadian-or merkin-printed
no priority established nor liable to be, both give copyright year only

n.b. some or all copies printed with the incorrect cat# 275K, overprinted in black followed by correct cat# 279K
