ppint. 27th Jan 2021		undated first leisure books mmpb printing, bearing only the 1964 copyright date publication date from daniel j. h. levack's ''pkd: a philip k. dick bibliography'' cover art (more-or-less none, a purpley swirly background to the typography) cover price 95¢ 176pp. including titles, indicia etc, end p. advertising printed from the belmont books mmpb setting (with title p. etc. and advertising varied) n.b. the purported isbn printed on the spine is a fake created by the interpolation of two zeros between the (i)sbn publisher code, 8439, and the numerical part of the cat#: stripping off the price digits apended: 08439-0028- would not give a checksum digit of 5: 8 x 9 = 72 4 x 8 = 32 3 x 7 = 21 9 x 6 = 54 2 x 3 = 6 8 x 2 = 16 sum = 201, ÷ 11 gives the remainder = 3, so checksum digit would be 8 *all* leisure books purported isbns of the period should be checked as liable to be fakes, especially if they have been formed by the insertion of two zeros between the '0-8439-' and the numerical part of the cat#.
