ppint. ● 20th Aug 2022		thomson books sphere books second, undated (c.1970) p/b printing has new cover art (unsigned, uncredited, which i ascribe to michael leonard (and is re-used on the 10/1970 paperback library mmpb printing) cover price 192pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising



ppint. ● 1st Jan 2020		thomson books sphere books first printing, first p/b edition (horizontally-divided disc sphere books logo) cover art unsigned, uncredited (by bill botten, is on his website (but see june 2019 comment)) cover price 5/-, (overseas territories' prices) 192pp. including titles, indicia etc, end p. advertising



ppint. ● 7th Jun 2019		two different sphere books printings/bindings bearing different cover art exist, both bearing only the first sphere books publication year date of 1967 in their publishing history. the cover art on the second (c.1970) printing is not the same as that on the first, which is attributed to bill botten and is on his website: but this may be a misreading of an ambiguity, as he became sphere books' art editor and so accepted responsibility for art by other artists that he'd bought in, as well as for his own cover art; this needs further checking to sort out



ppint. ● 23rd Jan 2019		atlan/cija series (formerly trilogy) #3: #1; "the serpent" (1963), q.v. for series listing and links.



ppint. ● 8th Jul 2023		paperback library mmpb second printing with striking new cover art (unsigned, uncredited; re-used from sphere books second printing; i attribute it to michael leonard as matching covers known to be by him very closely) (seen said to be by frank frazetta (without any justifying reference): extremely atypically-styled for frazetta, and to be by but unsigned by him by this date is also highly unlikely)) cover price 75¢ 176pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 8th Jul 2023		paperback library mmpb first printing, first merkin edition cover art unsigned, uncredited, believed to be by jeff jones (check) cover price 75¢ 176pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 8th Jul 2023		bpc by now prob'ly macdonald & co. (publishers) h/cvr first printing, not first uk h/cvr edition approximately simultaneous with the macdonald/futura p/b first printing with which it shares° cover (d-j) art by mick van houten (unsigned, uncredited; shared with p/b edition) cover (d-j) price £8.95 192pp. including titles, indicia etc, blank end pp, bound with endpapers between covered boards ° announced for simultaneous publication, the macdonald h/cvr editions frequently trailed the futura p/bs during this era of macdonald / futura / orbit (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 8th Jul 2023		macdonald & co. publishers futura books p/b first printing, not first uk p/b edition approximately simultaneous with the macdonald & co. publishers h/cvr edition with which it shares cover art by mick van houten cover price £1.95 (overseas territories prices?) 192pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising identified as book four in the atlantis saga, but this is variable: is book three if book two is not split (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 7th Jul 2023		white lion h/cvr first printing, not first uk h/cvr edition cover (d-j) art unsigned, uncredited cover (d-j) price (c. £3) (parts of d-j flaps not visible on the library laminated rebinding seen) 192pp. including titles, indicia etc, end p, bound with endpapers between covered boards white lion publishers were primarily (though not solely) a supplier of books to the uk public libraries the budgets of the uk public libraries were progressively cut - and then the single largest local authority, and with it, its excellent library service, was destroyed as a matter of doctrinaire right-wing idiocy: white lion seems to've ceased publishing fiction hardcover reprints during 1977 in consequence, and possibly shortly after ceased to exist. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 7th Jul 2023		tandem books ltd. tandem imprint p/b first printing, not first p/b edition cover art unsigned, uncredited; probably by dave pether, the artist for at least two of tandem's cija p/bs cover price 45p, 48p eire, 50c malta 192p. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising an isbn is trivially derivable from the sbn, but the cover bears the nine-digit sbn (this comment is from another edition of this book)
