 first near-identical signet/nal mmpb printings/p/b edition(s) sharing merkin-printed covers, cat#,

cover art unsigned, uncredited, sfaiaa as-yet unattributed
cover price 50¢
128pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

refer to indica to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed
no priority established nor liable to be, both stating first printing, june, 1964

 the signet mmpbs' title is consistently hyphenated: "the dark light-years" through three merkin and one canadadian printings upon their title pages, though only upon the simultaneous first printings' covers.

 new english library four square books imprint first printing, first uk p/b edition, near-identical variants
note cover prices on top front cover of different parts of this first four square edition:

cover art uncredited, unsigned
cover price 3'6 (uk-of-gb-&-ni (and further afield) distributed copies)
cover price 6/- or 60¢ australian (copies exported thither and distributed thence,
bears "four square" above 4 square logo, above "worldplan", top left front cover)
160pp. including titles, indica etc.

i've no record, nor report, of whether the two are distinguishable in the indica,
nor therefore, whether new english library accounted them as parts of the same first printing.

 date of this rebinding may be as late as 1982, judging by the uk cover price.

 cover art uncredited, unsigned (largely typographical, with A in a circle symbol)
cover price 80p, rep. of ireland 88p, australia $2.75, new zealand $2.50
so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule
160pp. including titles, indica etc, end p.advertising

 cover art by bruce pennington.

there are three near-identical new english library printings/editions with this cover art and design: the first two (5/1971, 4/1972) bear the same (i)sbn, (0)450007103, and are distinguishable by reference to their indica;
the second printing is not mentioned in the indica of the third (3/1975), but this is readily identified as it bears a new (i)sbn, (0)450023060.
