 ace books mmpb undated° first printing, first p/b edition

reprint collection of thirteen stories, eleven short stories and two novelettes:
omits "the handler" included in the victor gollancz h/cvr & sphere books p/b editions

cover art by jack gaughan (credited on back cover, also artwork is signed with his monogram)
interior b+w illustration by jack gaughan (signed with his monogram)
cover price 50¢
160pp. including titles, indicia, table-of-contents etc, end pp. advertising

° - the original doubleday merkin hardcover's 1966 copyright date is the only date in this mmpb's indicia, whose publication date year is from donald h. tuck; it is consistent both with the cover price, and with interpolation of cat#s
