ppint. 11th Oct 2022		w. h. allen wyndham star books imprint p/b first star books imprint printing, third printing of this uk p/b setting, previously under the tandem books imprint, whose sbn it retains, prefixed with a 0, as its isbn cover art unsigned, uncredited cover price 75p, 80c malta, $2.75 australia, $2.30 new zealand 160pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 15th Jan 2018		wyndham books - the paperback division of howard & wyndham - oddly still using the last tandem books/ universal books isbn/sbn/cat# on what is now (= was then) badged a star books p/b (star books/w. h. allen's isbn publishers usual isbn prefix for star books being (0)352- )° - and the back cover still refers to this and another "brak the barbarian" series book as being in universal p/b°, which imprint was introduced by w. h. allen to replace the tandem books imprint name.. ..and then abandoned by them. . .° (° - their catalogue was a mess, too, with bits and pieces of star, tandem, universal, universal-tandem, savoy, award (uk), warner paperback library (uk) - and some target - science fiction, "science-fantasy", fantasy, horror, and sundry other oddments scattered in no particular order, in no particularly obvious associational groupings, hither and yon about the thing.)

ppint. 14th Jan 2018		universal-tandem tandem books imprint p/b first printing, first uk edition cover art by gerald wood cover price 4/- 160pp including titles, indicia etc, end p. advertising number in isbn10 field is the precursor 9 digit sbn actually borne by this book. this p/b might follow the revised text published by berkley books as "thongor and the wizard of lemuria" (1969), rather than the 1965 ace books version; i don't expect it does, but could a bookcatter with access to both kindly compare them and confirm - or contradict?
