 re-reading it after three decades, yr hmbl srppnt. can confirm that my blurb on the back of the hamlyn paperbacks edition is a fair indicator of the book; the cover art is, er, ''somewhat overpowering'', but it's a perfectly reasonable representation of one of the major episode's scenes - and it shouldn't be surprising it's - rather restrainédly, for him - ''fairly melvynesque''.

 random house ballantine books mmpb near-identical first printings sharing merkin-printed covers
del rey series - but this was not yet a separate imprint

cover price $3.25 (canadian-carcassed copies intended for distribution north of the parallel)
cover price $2.50 (wholly merkin-printed copies for general distribution)
208pp? including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

refer to indica to see if carcass ("book") of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed
no priority established nor liable to be

follows the 1974 elmfield press revised edition text; i.e. cut 1962, revised & expanded1969, 1974 by john

 ace books mmpb second printing of 1969 re-expanded edition, cat# duly increased by 1

cover art by don punchatz (credited)
cover price 95¢
160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising


undated near-identical ace books mmpb third printing of the 1969 re-expanded revised edition
cat# 81272 (duly increased by 1 further)
isbn 0-441-81272-4
cover art by don punchatz retained
cover price $1.50
160pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising (adverts may differ)

this printing must have been published c.1976-to-1978 by interpolating the $1.50 cover price (in the light of the book's 160pp. extent) into a listing of ace books of comparable extent.
