| | title is "the sioux spaceman", singular, not "... spacemen" (corr. by 2/2020)
her first-published novel featuring the council/confederation split i think: which also includes all those featuring the "dipple" displaced people's (& peoples') ghetto quarter, the beast master sequence, etc. etc;
but n.b. quite a lot of andre norton's sf shares some parts of a setting without being fully consistent. . . |

° cover is modified from that of the double by removal of the blue band in chief, replaced by extension of the yellow field of the painting; new typography for the title & author, and moving the small print stating first book publication - which is if course no longer true - to one line reading vertically upward next to base of spine. the ace logo is in the same position, but now that with ace books in two lines across the ''a'', above the new cat# and price, on a darkened yellow field. the other half's cover replaced with a blurb.
