 pan books picador imprint first b-format p/b printing, not first p/b edition
published as ''literary fiction'', not as category sf

cover art by barbara costell
cover price 40p (?overseas territories?)
160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

1977 near-identical second picador printing on same isbn, differs:

should also be listed as second printing in publishing history, but i didn't record this when stocking it.
