Title: The Seedling Stars Title Record # 21844
Author: James Blish
Date: 1957-00-00
Type: COLLECTION
Series: Pantropy
Webpages: Wikipedia-EN
Language: English
Note: The front cover, "advertising" on page 1, and the back cover all state this is a novel. However the publication is divided into four named sections "Book One – Seeding Program," "Book Two – The Thing in the Attic," "Book Three – Surface Tension," and "Book Four – Watershed." The copyright page notes that all four sections were previously published in magazines and thus this is a collection [Book 3 was considerably revised from the magazine version].

21/-?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. 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).
