| ppint. 15th Apr 2020 | n.b. the (debatable) series numbering is not the, or a, sub-title and should^W has been deleted. | |

| ppint. 27th Jan 2019 | the publisher name should^W has been changed to "universal", as this imprint of the publisher, w. h. allen & co.'s paperback division, wyndham publications, is already given as just "universal" on multiple titles here on "bookcat". (the uk p/b publisher was originally set up by universal publishing & distribution, inc. (upd) as universal-tandem publishing co. ltd., to publish their mass-market paperbacks and sf and fantasy digest-format magazines in the uk-of-gb-and-norn-iron, republic of ireland, western yeurrrp and anywhere else within the sterling area or block as used to be. this rapidly expanded to include books universal-tandem picked up the uk (etc.) p/b rights to, which were published under their tandem books and target books (for children; mostly doctor who novelisations) imprints. the primary uk distribution of the magazines, galaxy, if, worlds of fantasy and worlds of tomorrow was by new english library magazine division until this part of that publisher was closed down; thereafter distribution was by universal-tandem/tandem books. at some point the universal-tandem publishing co. ltd. name was changed to tandem books ltd. upd sold their uk book-publishing arm to w. h. allen & co. ltd., by then a howard & wyndham company, who combined distribution etc. with their star books p/b line, possibly retaining the licence to continue to use the "tandem" name for only a limited time, as wyndham publications. they later started transferring many tandem books titles to their star books imprint, giving the impression they intended to close down the tandem books imprint - but nevertheless also published some new titles as tandem books... they began re-labelling reprintings of various tandem books as universal books, with new cover designs and art (and prices), as well as publishing new titles under the universal imprint... the continuity of the variously-named publishing company can be traced from cat#s through cat#-incorporating sbn9s with publisher code 426-, isbn10s incorporating this in the extended prefix 0-426- and eventually the associated bar-code numbers. (the star/tandem/target/universal/wyndham/savoy books°/warner paperback library°/signet°/etc. a4 catalogue-cum-order form was a mess, too. . .) (and at least one tandem books title reprint rebadged a star book accidentally retained its 0426-prefixed tandem books isbn instead of havng an 0352-prefixed star books (& w. h. allen) isbn bestowed upon it.) . (° - wyndham publications/w. h. allen & co. ltd. distributed some titles from these independent publishers' catalog(ue)s at various times) | |
| ppint. 16th Nov 2017 | n.b. copies of (at least) the near-identical (with the two first) third printing of the merkin daw UQ1001 mmpb edition with nel black on white 30p "tall oval with porticoed door" stickers were distributed in the uk by new english library in/from 1972. | |
