Comments and Reviews


OldMod67 8th Feb 2024		Re: a hardcover edition. There was a hardcover released in 1975, titled The Man From Beyond and Other Stories which apparently had the same content as this. The publisher, however, was Michael Joseph so I may be in error. I still don't have a copy so can't confirm personally. In fact I still haven't got around to getting the paperback or indeed the two individual volumes.
