 the shattered chain was first published in 1976, not 1981.

 this 1976 first edition. . . was probably not published five years before the first publication of this book.

first published year date should be corrected to 1976 from 1981, or else deleted.

 daw books mmpb simultaneous third and fourth printings sharing

cover art by richard hescox (signed, though wrongly credited to george barr in fourth printing)
b+w frontispiece by george barr (signed, retained from first printings)
near-meaningless daw books number dropped from cover place in logo box taken by
cover price $1.95
288pp? including titles, indicia etc.

refer to indica to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed.
number-string also differs, 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (third printing), 4 5 6 7 8 9 (fourth printing).


refer also to indicia printing history number-string after statement of first printing's date, to see which further printing is held: these progressively drop digits, to 6 7 8 9 10 11 (sixth printing).

richard hescox' cover art is retained through at least the seventeenth daw books mmpb printing, with indicia printing history number-string progressively adjusted appropriately:
