ppint. 23rd Feb 2018		berkley medallion published by berkley books cover art by richard powers (uncredited, art is signed "powers") cover price 50¢ 160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising



ppint. 16th Mar 2019		(i)sbn reported elsewhere as appearing in the indica as 425-02672-8. (0x10 +) 4x9 + 2x8 + 5x7 + 0x6 + 2x5 + 6x4 + 7x3 + 2x2 = (0+) 36 + 16 + 35 + 0 + 10 + 24 + 21 + 4 = 146, which needs 8 adding to it, to give a multiple of 11 this is therefore the correct isbn, and 425-01672-8 as given here on bookcat is wrong - it would give a different checksum digit (of "2"), and it should^W has been corrected to 425026728. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 23rd Feb 2018		cover art by david egge (credited) cover price $2.50 208pp? including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising text re-set from type used for all previous berkley & berkley medallion 160pp mmpbs - pagination up by a quarter - to allow for a greying population's aging eye-muscles - and the decreasing familiarity with printed paper books of modern kids - ?

ppint. 23rd Feb 2018		unattributed fiery cover art later re-used on kensington corp's zebra mmpb of "transmaniacon" by john shirley (1979), q.v. cover price 75p, australia $2.65 (recommended), malta 80c, new zealand $2.30 so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule 176pp. including titles, indica etc. bears the angular version of wyndham paperbacks' stylised "w" on the rear cover (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 23rd Feb 2018		sbn9 on spine & in indica, but the final, checksum digit is calculatably arithmetically incorrect. (0x10 +) 4x9 + 2x8 + 5x7 + 0x6 + 2x5 + 7x4 + 6x3 + 3x2 = 36+16+35+10+28+18+6 = 149, which needs 5 adding to be a multiple of 11: (i)sbn given is wrong, though it may be as printed on book (or on the indica page): it should be or have been printed "425-02763-5". near-identical editions/printings sharing cat#, cover price and cover art by richard powers cover price 95¢ 160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising refer to indica to see if the copy you hold was merkin- or canadadian- printed. no priority established nor now liable to be.

ppint. 23rd Feb 2018		cover art by robin fry (either a very limited view of this, seen through the "keyhole" letters of the title, or including the elsewise essentially unrelieved blackness of the cover design) cover price 4/- 176pp? including titles, indica etc. re-issued bearing the same isbn, as a universal paperback 1978, with new unattributed cover art later re-used on "transmaniacon" by john shirley (1/1979), q.v. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 10th Nov 2017		published with the same isbn as the 1969 tandem books ltd. p/b by the successor company, under an imprint resurrected from the era: tandem had been universal-tandem publishing co. ltd, owned by upd, universal publishing & distribution, inc., the merkin publishers of award mmpbs, and of galaxy, worlds of tomorrow, worlds of fantasy and if from april 1969, and publishers, and sometime distributors, variously, of joint us-uk, or uk editions of these digest format sf & fantasy magazines. after the uk subsidiary was sold to w. h. allen ltd, its name, as well as both the p/b and the hardcover imprints used, and that of the umbrella publishing company, became subject to erratic change. . .
