| ppint. 1st Dec 2018 | dray prescot series by ken bulmer writing as "alan burt akers" #4: #1: "transit to scorpio" (1972), q.v. for series listing and links. near-identical editions/printings sharing merkin-printed covers and hence also cat#, near-meaningless daw books collectors number 81, cover art and six b+w illustrations including frontispiece by tim kirk (credited, artwork signed "kirk") cover price 95¢ 192pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising refer to indicia to see if if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed. no priority established nor liable to be, both bear full first printing number-string, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5/1976 3rd printing & (date not yet known) 4th printing indicas still credit tim kirk for cover art, but actually cover art by josh kirby b+w interior illustrations by tim kirk retained cat# UY1231 cover price $1.25 (this will presumably constitute at new bookcat "item".) these two printings were likely simultaneous check indicia also to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed. a fictional introduction, "a note on the tapes from rio de janeiro", by ken bulmer as by alan burt akers precedes the novel. | |
| ppint. 25th Nov 2017 | as should be evident from the two numbers differing, the daw collectors number was & is not the cat#: if you tried ordering daw book 81 by this number alone, you'd either receive a reply of "not known" from daw books' distributor - then new american library - or else the book that was actually cat#ed UQ1081° - not this, which is cat# UQ1085. not all daw books were assigned "daw collectors number"s; this included some - possibly most(?) - reprints of books originally given them°°; all daw books have cat#s - they had to, to be orderable (until the universal advent & use of isbns, and later, bar-code readers). ° - or UT1081, if the cover price of the mmpb were ¢75 rather than ¢95 - the letter in the cat# after the "U" being n.a.l.'s price code: hence later daw cat#s prefixes slowly changing prefix through UE and UJ and UW °° - and upon occasion, a reissue of the same book might be allocated a different daw collectors number - "go figure", as good people t'other side o't'pond've been known to ejaculate | |
