(should it prove to be a canadadian copy, it'd be appreciated if the indica page and the card cover could be checked for any indication of whether the cover was canadadian- or merkin- printed and this information posted here.)



annaloog ● 11th Nov 2022		JMO, I wouldn't think separate entries are needed for every reprint, if the title, publisher, and cat. no./ISBN do not differ. Differences in reprint dates can be handled in Notes. Otherwise, popular titles could potentially have dozens of redundant entries. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 11th Nov 2022		no, it does not. different printings, different colour covers, different design of cover (though re-using the same artwork, this is now greatly reduced in size and at a considerable angle to the vertical), different date of printings.
