Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

Notes:
- First printing
- Sep-2008 This record was originally filed as "The 3rd Fontana Book of Great Horror Stories" but research on AbeBooks seems to show that the first printing is titled "The Third Fontana Book of Great Horror Stories" and that the cover used "3rd" (but title page "Third") from the 4th and later printings.
