2019Reprints translations taken from an anthology initially edited by Terry Carr and Donald A. Wollheim; this selection also was published in the 1970s by Ullstein. Thus, Dörge appears to be credited erroneously, and was likely only the series editor and/or the text editor. Translated by Leni Sobez, who is credited as Magdalena Sobez.

30/-?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).
