 the publisher is^W was still wrong and should^W has at last been corrected to ''berkley''

 n.b. berkley's 11/1981 fifth mmpb printing bears different cover art by another artist :
cover art by richard courtney (signed & dated courtney c 1981)
isbn 0-425-5185-4
cover price $2.25 (reported)

near-identical 3/1982 seventh printing
isbn 0-425-05185-4
cover price $2.25

near-identical 11/1982 ninth printing
isbn 0-425-05185-4
cover price $2.25

near-identical 7/1983 (stated printing number not reported)
isbn 0-425-06491-3
cover price $2.50

near-identical 4/1984 eleventh berkley mmpb bears
isbn 0-425-07484-6
cover price $2.75


whereas this bears berkley-putnam's cover & d-j art from their h/cvr & berkley medallion and berkley first through sixth mmpb printings by richard powers.

the berkley medallion first mmpb printing bears its cat# on the cover and its sbn - nine digits - in its indicia: it does not bear an isbn.
cover price $1.50 on the first, and on the undated near-identical second, third and fourth berkley medallion mmpb printings which likewise bear berkley medallion and cat# on their front covers:

berkley medallion mmpb 12/1976 first printing, first solo p/b edition:
cover art by richard powers (unsigned, uncredited; shared from berkley putnam h/cvr d-j where it is signed ''powers laz/org'')
cat# D3279
sbn 425-03279-5
cover price $1.50

the undated fifth printing is a berkley mmpb, not a berkley medallion mmpb, bears new
isbn 0-425-03910-2
cover price $1.75

and likewise on the near-identiical undated sixth berkley mmpb printing:
isbn 0-425-03910-2
cover price $1.75


so the publisher should be corrected to ''berkley'',

and

the bald notes section statement ''sixth printing'' should be clarified...
