 ballantine books mmpb probably simultaneous second printings° sharing merkin-printed covers
del rey series

collection or possibly fix-up of three linked novelettes and a novella

cover art by michael herring (retained from the two ballantine/del rey series first printings, reduced a bit to allow space for the new arched purple background upon which the titles etc. now appear)
cover price $2.95
192pp. including titles, indicia, introduction by j.j. pierce etc, end p. advertising

° - please check any copy you may hold of either ballantine / del rey printing; should you find its carcass was canadadian-printed, please post ''here'' giving the wording by which this was announced.
thank-you,
love, ppint.

 i think the texts of these four stories are unrevised from the 1966 ace books mmpb, q.v. (and their 1963-5 magazine appearences), but i've not done a count/estimate check, let alone a word-for-word comparison of the text, or part of it.

 first ballantine books ballantine / del rey imprint mmpb printing,
collection of the four casher o'neil stories with new introduction by john (j. j.) pierce

cover art by michael herring (credited)
cover price $1.75
208pp. including titles, indicia, introduction by john (j. j.) pierce etc.


there could well be a canadadian-carcassed variant of both the the first, and the second printings, almost certainly sharing the merkin-printed covers;
should your copy of either's publishing history indicate its carcass/'book'' was printed in canada, please post ''here'' giving the precise wording used to state this, and its cover price. thank-you, ppint.
