 grosset & dunlap charter communications ace fifth mmpb printing (mis-stated as fourth) including the 1956 ace double mmpb first p/b edition.

indicia publishing history also credits a non-existent (sfaik) 1959 ace books mmpb printing as the first ace printing, then (more credibly) 10/1966, 6/1973, 6/1974 for the next two printings including this.
