ppint. 8th Nov 2018		first published date is^W was still wrong and should^W has now been corrected (by 31/12/18)



ppint. 13th Nov 2017		first book publication. first published year date is therefore wrong and should be deleted. (the 1962 first published date refers to the "serialization" in galaxy science fiction magazine, not in any hardcover, nor any other book form.)



ppint. 7th Nov 2017		(despite the "obviously" fantastic title, this is - more or less - science fiction.)



ppint. 28th Jun 2023		granada publishing group second printing, also panther books second printing - but the first granada publishing group printing was the intervening mayflower books imprint 1972 uk p/b edition. (n.b: all are essentially from the same typesetting, suitably adjusted - and this panther/granada printing bears an isbn that incorporates cat# of the panther books ltd. 1967 edition - that granada publishing didn't publish, and don't credit, not the isbn of the mayflower books that they did publish - and do credit. . . - can this bibliographically-put-upon sf & fantasy fan and sometime editor please be allowed use of a time machine to kill some publishers' miscreant manglements - ?) cover art by geoff taylor (unsigned, credited on back cover) cover price £1.95, $5.95 australia, $7.95 new zealand 128pp. including titles, indicia, etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)

ppint. 6th Jun 2019		first uk publication, the 1965 dennis dobson h/cvr, is also the world first h/cvr & first solo edition q.v. first uk p/b by panther books (1967), q.v. granada publishing group mayflower books imprint p/b first printing, not first uk p/b edition cover art uncredited, unsigned cover price 30p, south africa 75c, singapore $3.00, australia & new zealand 95c, canada 95c (so this edition should be re-flagged "international" by respected moderator's rule; or not so re-flagged, according to respected moderator's heartfelt plea) 128pp. including titles, indicia, etc, end pp. (this comment is from another edition of this book)
