 first uk edition 1971
title on title page omits "the "; authors name on cover omits " a. ".

cover art by jan parker (uncredited, art is signed)
cover price 30p (6/-), spain pts 75, australia $1.00, new zealand $1.00
so should be re-flagged "international" according to respected moderator's rule
indica publishing history states:
first nel edition april, 1971
176pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

near-identical second printing 1972
(i)sbn (0-) 450-02079-7
cover price 30p, (overseas territories' prices?)
indica publishing history adds:
reprinted july, 1972

near-identical thrid printing 1974
cover price 35p (oversea territories' prices?)
(i)sbn retained, though
indica publishing history adds
this new edition july 1974

1978 reprinting bears new
cover art by joe petagno (reported misspelt patagno)
isbn 0450-03856-4
cover price 80p, australia $2.25, new zealand $2.60, canada $2.50
this new edition july, 1978
176pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising (nel titles advertised differ from earlier)

1987 reprinting reported as near-identical with 7/1978
isbn 0450-00829-0
cover art by joe petagno retained (spelling of surname in any credit not reported)
cover price £2.25 (overseas territories' prices?)
(reprinting date given as 10/1987 in locus)
indica publishing history line ? (10/1987 date from locus)
176pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising (same again, or differs?)

but also:

1987 reprinting
isbn 0-450-00829-7
cover art uncredited (reported signed ''SA 86'')
10/1987 (date month given in locus)
cover price £2.25, australia $7.95 (any other overseas territories' prices?)
indica publishing history:
first nel edition 1971
new edition 1978
fourth impression 1987
176pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

the latter may be a stripping-and-re-covering of the 1987 printing reported above it, a later bind-up of hitherto unbound signatures, or they may be separate printings, or the earlier may have been reported in error. the cover art on the two reported 1987 printings is completely different.
