ppint. 9th Jul 2019		cover art by ray feibush (uncredited, unsigned; attribution from cover of science fiction monthly vol.2 #3, 3/1975, q.v.) cover price 40p, spain pts 105, gibraltar 45p, malta 45c, cyprus 450 mils, australia $1.25, new zealand $1.25, trinidad (w.i.) $2.40 so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule 160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)

ppint. 19th Dec 2017		number in the isbn10 field is the sbn9 actually borne by this edition. cover art by joe petagno (credited on back cover) cover price 75p, australia $2.50, new zealand $2.45, canada $2.25 160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising (at least) one source lists an apparently identical 12/1978 printing which may be non-extant, as unsold copies of this 7/78 printing were bound together in omnibus with the new english library 2/1979 p/b edition of the sequel, "the wizard of linn", and published as "a bargain bumper sf double" with a new isbn10, 0450053407, by new english library 10/1981, making any perceived need for, and hence the existence of a 12/78 reprint somewhat unlikely. check the indica on the reverse of the title page of this 1978 p/b to check whether it is the 7/1978 new edition or the putative 12/1978 reprint. (this comment is from another edition of this book)

ppint. 19th Dec 2017		first manor books mmpb edition, may've been intended as the third macfadden books printing as cat# could split to 95-320, indicating 95¢ cover price in macfadden books system; accounted the third printing in the indica as the successor company included the previous macfadden two/four printings (or two editions) in its reckoning. slightly psychedelic typographical cover design sans any art. cover price 95¢ 160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 19th Dec 2017		macfadden books mmpb simultaneous second printings; as was common through the period, near-identical editions/printings sharing merkin-printed covers and hence also cat#, cover art by jack faragasso (signed, credited on back cover; not from previous macfadden edition) cover price 75¢ 160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising refer to indica to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed no priority established nor liable to be, both stating second printing....december, 1970 (this comment is from another edition of this book)
