23skidoo 9th May 2022		@ppint Good detective work on the year. Adding support to the notion of a 1977 printing is that was the year Groucho died (indeed he died only a couple of days after Elvis) so it would make sense for this book to be reprinted to cash in. (That's not me being snarky - Groucho would have approved, I'm sure!) (Edit: or rush-reprinted in this case, as I recall the book was first published in 1977 but I could see them pushing up the paperback date.)



ppint. 8th May 2022		by interpolation into manor books' cat# sequence (ignoring the first two digits, which indicate the cover price - less the trailing 5¢ for prices over $1 - a system inherited from macfadden books) - and by comparison of the cover price of manor books of this extent, it's possible to estimate the mmpb's year of publication to be 1977 or 1978, with 1977 looking the likeliest for a licenced reprint of a merkin h/cvr. manor books don't appear to've taken fresh licences from other publishers to previously-published books after 1977; they continued reprinting books they had inherited historic mmpb rights to as the successor company to macfadden books and apparently various other publishers, and continued to buy new books, possibly outright, very cheaply; unsurprisingly, the over-all quality of such new books they published plummeted. they seem to've ceased publishing mmpbs in 1980.
