 there are two or more near-identical ace books printings with this cat#,

cover art by jack gaughan (signed with his "jg" monogram, credited)
cover price 60¢
192pp. including titles, indica, introduction by forrest ackerman etc, end p. advertising

the two known variants differ as to the books advertised on the final printed page:
one includes "space chantey" by r. a. lafferty b/w "pity about earth" by ernest hill, ace H-56;
and the other, "the broken lands" by fred saberhagen, ace 08130.

there could be further printings before ace 76501 was published with new cover art (1973).

 does not sort with other editions of this book because of formatting of author's name.

edit 19:00 gmt+1: strangely this has changed after being declared optional for some...
