| | fawcett publications gold medal imprint mmpb second printing°
cover art by richard powers, & design almost identical with 1960 first edition
the extra lines of typography above the title being the main difference;
cat# L1474
cover price 45¢
176pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising
no statement in indicia of date of reprinting, which sfaik has been estimated by interpolation into cat#s of known first publications by fawcett, and by comparison of cover prices - so is subject to correction.
° - second printing excluding the licenced gold medal p/b from frederick muller ltd, london (uk) 1962 q.v. (this comment is from another edition of this book) |

| | hutchinson & co. publishers arrow books imprint p/b first printing, not first uk p/b edition
cover art by chris yates (attributed on re-use in science fiction monthly vol.1 #5, 5/1974 and collected in his section in "visions of the future" janet sacks (1976), qq.v.)
cover price 35p (no overseas territories?)
192pp. including titles, indicia etc.
(four or five° arrow books sf p/bs around 1973 had cat#s on their spines, or near the arrow logo, that didn't appear to be functional in any way - they weren't on the arrow books order form - so i'm not sure why. if anyone out there in bookcatland knows. . .?)
° - maybe half a dozen: and prob'ly some non-sf arrow books around then, too. . . (this comment is from another edition of this book) |
