 very iffy-looking - printed in israel, which had the advantage for this publisher of not observing copyright laws requiring ownership of, or a licence to, the rights to any english language book they were having produced for them.

cover art unsigned, uncredited; still as-yet unattributed
cover price 25p, south africa 75c, australia $1.00, new zealand $1.00, u.s. 95¢, canada $1.00
undated, indica publishing history states produced in israel and first published by pike publications
160pp. including titles, indica (ha!), etc, end pp.

this edition of deeply dubious legality published 1973-1974; 1973 entered as more likely from prices

i know of no eyewitness nor other evidence that any priory books were sold by way of trade as new books at cover price via the uk book trade, nor in any of the territories to which the non-sterling cover prices purport to apply and so might appear to suggest distribution occurred.
