23skidoo 20th May 2020		My copy has a cover price of 35 cents but otherwise is shown as being the First Edition. It's possible mine was the version sold in Canada (though still the US printing) or they upped the price during the print run. I don't have enough information to justify creating a new listing, so for now I've just uploaded the cover price variant here.
