 date of this first sphere books p/b edition is^W was still wrong and should^W still^W has been corrected to 1977

it should be de-linked from the half ''ace double'' ace mmpb as it is an omnibus of a novella as well as the title short novel, which the half ''ace double'' is not.

 publication date of this first sphere books p/b edition is wrong and should be corrected to 1977

omnibus edition of ''the universe maker'' (short novel) and ''the proxy intelligence'' (novella)
