 @jimeß's cover image added 2019 is from the first canadian printing, detailed below, whose cover was (and states) litho'd in canada (= printed by off-set lithography in canada).
it was apparently a legal requirement that a book distributed in canada be printed in canada - whether to avoid liability for import duties, yr hmbl srppnt. knoweth not.

whatever the reason, this requirement was - apparently successfully - interpreted by other publishers, and later also by fawcett, as being satisfied by their having only the carcass of the book printed, and stated to have been printed, in canada - whereupon they switched to shipping parts of print-run of the merkin-printed covers of their books to their canadian printers.

 Added a front cover variant. First time I've run across that here, but probably not the last. Added the back cover and month also.
