 gor #6 of far too many:

#1: "tarnsman of gor" (1966), q.v. for series listing, and links.

ballantine books near-identical first mmpb printings, first edition, probably sharing merkin-printed covers

cover art by gino d'achille (unsigned, credited)
cat# 02447
cover price 95¢
320pp? including titles, indicia etc.

refer to indicia to see if carcass (& possibly covers) of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed.
no priority established nor liable to be, both stating first printing december 1971

distinguish from ballantine books near-identical second mmpb printings sharing merkin-printed redesigned covers with art cropped to fit within fairly wide white borders, bearing same cat# and sbn

cover art by gino d'achille retained from first printings
cover price 95¢
320pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising

refer to indicia publishing history to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed
no priority established nor liable to be, both stated second printing (december 1972 believed)


reference to the above canadian-carcassed printings may have subsequently been accidentally duplicated in the indicia publishing histories of later printings, which appear to start with four merkin and two separately-accounted canadian printings which are allocated slightly different dates from those given above and in the canadian-carcassed copies



gino d'achille's cover art & the 95¢ cover price retained through the sixth merkin printing, and the possibly accidentally-doubly-separately-accounted first and second canadadian printings.
the cat# changes to 22447 (0-345-22447-7) with the 12/1973 fourth merkin (now random house ballantine books mmpb) printing

 random house group ballantine books mmpb fourth merkin printing stated in indicia publishing history°
near-identical with second mmpb printings' cover design, though cat# and therefore sbn including checksum digit changed

cover art by gino d'achille retained from first & second printings
cover price 95¢
320pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising

° indicia publishing history gives separate dates to merkin & canadian first printings, and to merkin & canadian second printings; and credits a third merkin printing 3/1973

refer also to indicia publishing history to distinguish from near-identical fifth printing which differs:
indicia publishing history adds line giving fifth printing february 1974
