ppint. 1st Jan 2020		cover art by diane and leo dillon (unsigned, credited on back cover) cover price 60¢ 160pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising spine number-string 020-080105-060 appears to be the abn with cover price in cents appended



ppint. 27th Nov 2017		i s'spect the 1968 © date refers to the serialisation, and the first book publication date to be early 1969, as the mmpb is unlikely to precede the 8/69 merkin sf book club hardcover by a year. . . - if 1968, it must have been in the last two (or three) months thereof. serialised as "_the tuvela_" in analog vol.lxxxii #1, #2; 9/1968, 10/1968 part one is the cover story, and each part has two b+w illustrations, all by john schoenherr



JimEss SUBS 5th Jan 2024		Covers added. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 29th Apr 2023		j. m. dent readers union group science fiction book club h/cvr first printing, not first h/cvr edition for sale only to members of the book club by mail order on a subscription basis, later as an option to members of the other readers union group book clubs cover (d-j) art (unsigned, uncredited, the b+w art may be by terry james who did ~#160-#170) cover (d-j) price 160pp. including titles, indicia etc, end p., bound with endpapers between covered boards did not receive a 5000 series cat# in david & charles' renumbering, so had sold out by 12/1972. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 29th Apr 2023		macdonald & co. (publishers) first printing, first uk edition, first h/cvr edition cover (d-j) art (unsigned, uncredited line drawing on the block letter sf of the standard design) cover (d-j) price 21/- (£1.05) 160pp. including titles, indicia etc, end p., bound with endpapers between covered boards number-string in the isbn10 field is the sbn actually borne on the d-j back; an isbn is trivially derivable from the sbn, but the book bears none such. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 1st Jan 2020		thrid ace mmpb printing by indica publishing history number line cover art by robert (bob) adragna retained from previous ace mmpb cover price $2.25 isbn 0-441-14246-X implies the prior existence of 0-441-14245-5, which appears to be non-existent: this may have been scheduled and then cancelled after the warehouse was found to hold sufficient stock 216pp? including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 1st Jan 2020		ace books second mmpb printing according to publishing history number-string° cover art by bob (robert) adragna (signed r. adragna, credited bob adragna) cover price $1.95 216pp? including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising ° - this is unexpectedly correct, as ace's then-current manglement would not normally have included the 1968/9 edition in the publishing history accounting: however, a ~2/1979 ace mmpb, cover-priced $1.75, was announced but then cancelled (locus #219, 221; 2, 4/1979 refer).° ° - any bookcatter coming across a copy of an as-yet unspotted robert (bob) adragna-covered edition bearing cover price $1.75 and indicia publishing history number-string starting at "1" is requested to post photograph/scan of cover & indicia page, if they can, or at least give full description - preferably as a new bookcat item - as none is believed to exist. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 1st Jan 2020		cover art by eddie jones (signed) cover price 35p, $1.15 australia & new zealand so this edition should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule - or not so re-flagged, according to equally well-respected moderator's heartfelt plea 160pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)
