 from 1958 through c. 1965-8, the new american library signet books mmpb was distributed in canada, mostly with canadian-printed carcases sharing merkin-printed covers of the near-identical more-or-less simultaneous merkin mmpb main printings. i do not know if the 1968 bantam mmpb edition, which saw at least four printings, or the 1974 ballantine books mmpb, which saw at least thirty-seven printings, saw distribution north of the parallel.

 pan books first printing, apparently first uk p/b edition, not first p/b edition

cover art unsigned, uncredited
cover price 3'6, 45c south africa, 6/- (60c) australia, 4/6 new zealand
so this edition/printing should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule
- or not so re-flagged, according to equally well-respected moderator's heartfelt plea


near-identical pan books p/b second printing (1967) retains cat#, cover art, uk cover price, differs:
adds statement of second printing to indicia publishing history
