    • This publication contains further textual revisions compared with some previous editions, eg: 1972 Panther pb. These take the form of minor re-wordings or occasional additions / deletions of sentences. There do not appear to be any substantial changes to the structure or essence of the story
    • In tandem with these revisions, a fair number of spelling errors have been introduced throughout the text
    • There is no explicit statement in the book regarding these further textual revisions but the second copyright year (1984) stated on the copyright page suggests that either this publication or the earlier 1984 printing is the first to contain these revisions
