Comments and Reviews


ppint. 19th Feb 2021		cover art unsigned, uncredited; attributed to stephen miller in raggedclaws.com/2012/10/26/look-here-three-of-six-william-tenn-covers-by-stephen-miller number in the isbn10 field is the sbn actually given in the indica: an isbn is trivially derivable, but the book bears none. the merkin cat# of U6132 was quoted on the cover in error: this was not used on ballantine books ltd.'s order forms, nor later in pan books' catalogues - though ballantine books ltd.'s employees in the offices at 8 king street, london were easily bright enough to interpret the merkin cat#s on books they actually imported and distributed, or of which they published uk p/b editions.
