 mayflower books p/b first printing, first uk edition, apparently first p/b edition°
first edition doubleday merkin h/cvr (1962), q.v.
(° - possibly preceded by the goldmann translation in trade p/b (& h/cvr))

cover art unsigned, uncredited
cover price 3/6
192pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising
cover bears number-string 050-9220-8

(sfaiaa nobody's authoritatively explained why many mayflower books cat# bore an appended ''-8'' for a couple of years, nor what lay behind the prepending of ''050-'' to some. . .)

 w. h. allen star books imprint p/b first printing, not first uk p/b edition

cover art by attila hejja (signed, uncredited; reused from "legacy from the stars" john gregory (1979), q.v.)
cover price £1.00 (check for overseas territories prices)
240pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising

cover is almost exactly the same as that of the 1982 leisure books mmpb (q.v.); check whether this 1982 uk edition was - or was not - produced as a modified run-on of the leisure books mmpb printing.

 isbn checksum digit calculated and is valid.†

† - n.b. this should not be taken for granted with nordon / leisure books mmpbs printed claimed isbns, especially when the isbn printed appears to've been formed by using the numerical part of the catalogue number as its final digits, prepended by enough zeroes ("0") to give ten digits starting "08439-" as for a while was commonly the case.
