 century hutchinson first yp/b printing, first uk edition

cover art by peter ''paj'' jones (signed and dated, also credited on back cover)
cover price £2.95
372pp? including titles, indica etc, end pp.

the very strong bold red title detracts greatly from the effectiveness of peter jones' cover art, but i don't know that this is the reason this edition didn't sell - yr hmbl srppnt. stocked it, but gave up on it and imported (a few) more of the daw mmpb, which browsers were more receptive to.
