distinguish from near-identical undated second printing by reference to the
indica publishing history printing number line: the digit ''1'' is dropped from the end,
also the partial second, canadian isbn (209401-0) is dropped from the front cover:

and likewise from further near-identical printings, lowest remaining digit indicates ordinality,
cover price(s) rise on later printings.

 cover art by larry elmore (signed "elmore 88") (re-used from first edition warner questar merkin mmpb)
cover price £3.50
304pp. (check) including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

n.b. isbn is from sphere books' second isbn range, beginning 0-7474-, so this was quite possibly acquired by tbl's sphere books, or during penguin's fairly brief ownership of the imprint.

 that "first published" date° is ever-so-slightly suspect. . .

...and yr hmbl srppnt.'s fairly confident should be corrected to 1989

° - of 1889
