| | granada publishing panther books 1979 stated in indica publishing history, but this was published by granada publishing ltd. c.1980-82 in this second state: it is a rebinding (and thus re-guillotining; so slightly smaller format) of unsold warehouse stock of the 1979 printing: so first printing, second state:
the original 1979 uk p/b cover art was by peter gudynas and the cover price was 95p; it was mis-titled ''the age of pussyfoot'' on the front cover - perhaps also on the spine; though not, on the title page inside.

| | second ballantine books printings, random house recognised judy-lynn del rey's work as editor by naming the ballantine books sf & fantasy line the del rey books series. it would later be made a separate imprint of the random house publishing group - and even later be transferred to the bantam books group of the merkin wing of the random penguin group of the transnational hachette group owned by lagardère. . . (- by which time book publishing had long since become just one part of the ginormous game of monopoly played by the mega-wealthy 2% of the human species...)
