 two printings of this collection exist with this cat#, one dated to 11/1976 (ace schedule, from locus #196), one to 1977, differing in sufficient detail to be told apart: most obviously, the earlier has the front cover title in lined silver ink, the latter has this replaced with ink-lined white (i.e. no-ink) (as per image 1490038 above);
also the advertising final page differs: the earlier having #70a, with two marion zimmer bradley tiles known to be of 11/1976 publication date; the later advert is numbered #71
