 dale mmpbs were a strange breed: p/b format, but mostly distributed as though they were magazines. they were published by joel davis, who'd launched the successful sf prozine, isaac asimov's science fiction magazine - sometimes abbreviated to "iamsf"° - and later, the less-successful, highly-illustrated and larger, thinner, saddle-stapled format isaac asimov's science fiction adventure magazine, and seems to've used dale books 1977-79 as a means of using first reprint rights to stories bought for his magazines, where these were included in the licences, and also to publish mmpbs'of about a dozen or so sf & fantasy novels, etc, the merkin rights to which were presumably additionally acquired.

i don't know how, where or why the rights to this novel - and the short story - were picked up; but that's how come dr. iamsf's mug appears on its front cover.

° - the first three quarterly issues' covers of which were two side, and one full-frontal mugshots of the good dr. a. (after which joel davis eschewed the opportunity of displaying the back of asimov's head - alas - but shrunk it down - leastways in portrayal - considerably. . .
"iamsf" was not edited by isaac asimov, but by professional editor george h. scithers from spring 1977 launch issue through 1982; and thereafter by various other editors, notably including shawna mccarthey.
