ppint. 21st Aug 2024		william heinemann h/cvr first printing , first edition cover (d-j) art by john rowland (signed, credited for wrapper design on d-j front flap) cover (d-j) price 15/- 320pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, bound with endpapers between cloth-covered boards



ppint. 22nd Aug 2024		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. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 22nd Aug 2024		general mmpb first printing (check), probably first canadian p/b edition / first canadian edition cover art unsigned, uncredited sfaik cover price $5.95 276pp? (check) including titles, indicia etc, ended pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 22nd Aug 2024		both bear the sbn, 330 10570 1, on the back cover, spine & in the indicia (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 22nd Aug 2024		pan books p/b near-identical third and fourth printings, both 1969°, with new cover art unsigned, uncredited; still sfaiaa as-yet unattributed cover price 5/-, 60c south africa, 80c australia, 75c new zealand 276pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising indicia publishing history adds line: 3rd printing 1969 and then adds line: 4th printing 1969 ° - no month of publication given in either (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 21st Aug 2024		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 (this comment is from another edition of this book)
