ppint. ● 21st Dec 2023		''sarban'' was the habitual by-line for his fiction (all that i've read could be regarded as dark fantasy, though ''the sound of his horn'' (1952) is equally science fiction) of successful career diplomat, john william wall (6/11/1910 - 11/4/1989)



ppint. ● 17th Feb 2021		first sphere books printing, first uk p/b edition, includes introduction by kingsley amis from 1960 ballantine mmpb cover art unsigned, artist uncredited (acorn agency credited) cover price 5/-, east africa 6/00, south africa 60c, australia 80c, new zealand 75c 128pp. including titles, indica, introduction etc, end pp. cover art, which iirc is only noted as from acorn, is a photographic composition of a male torso and, shoulder clawed by the steel-tipped claws of a tiger. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 17th Feb 2021		third sphere books printing, includes introduction by kingsley amis from 1960 ballantine mmpb cover art unsigned, uncredited; still as-yet unattributed sfaik cover price 25p, east africa 6/00s, south africa 60c, australia 80c, new zealand 80c 128pp? (check!) including titles, indica, introduction etc, end pp. the cover art is striking, but i do not recognise it as any particular artist's style. it is very different from that on the 1969 first sphere books printing, which is an uninspired photographic composition (this comment is from another edition of this book)
