Member since Aug 2012 6393 Points	from about 1967/8 onwards, most major uk paperback publishers included australian and/or new zealand and/or south african and/or canadian (if they held canadian rights) and/or east african and/or cypriot and/or maltese and/or gibraltarian and/or republic of irish prices on usually the back covers of some - but usually not all - printings of the books they published - and only the uk prices on other printings of the sane book, with the same cover, under the sane cat#, and/or sbn, and/or isbn; unless bookcat is going to separate listings of such near-identical books into "uk" and "international" by whether they bear a cover price in addition to the uk price, or not, it surely makes sense to list them all as "uk" and note the various cover prices: - elsewise, different printings of the same book by the same publisher will be effectively randomly assigned to "international" - or not. (& likewise with merkin mass-market p/b publishers, later also the publishers of hardcovers, separating out printings of the sane book into "us" & "international" - but here not depending solely upon whether they bear a canadadian price as well the merkin but, where the cover prices happens to've been the same numerically, whether the carcass of the book was printed in, and the printing distributed through canadada (and prob'ly alaska), rather than the lower forty-eight. . .)
