Notes:
- 'Published by Granada Publishing Limited in Panther Books 1977 / ISBN 0 586 04757 3 / A Panther Original' on the copyright page.
- Because of the higher price in comparison to the 1977 Granada printing with the same ISBN, this is likely the second printing.
- Following from this, it seems likely that the book was published later than 1977; no printing date, though amazon.uk has Feb '78.
- Peter Goodfellow is credited as artist on the back cover [this credit was likely copied from the earlier printing, no resemblance to Goodfellow's style]; Gudynas was found on the cover of a different publication (see variant of the cover art title).
- UK 85p, Rep of Ireland 93½p, Australia $2.95, New Zealand $2.75.
