Cover: The First Pacific Book of Australian Science Fiction by Wes Stacey
Notes:
- The spine gives the title as "Australian Science Fiction 1"; cover & title page use the title above (The First ...).
- Year from The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy (see [here] for biblio. details)
- ... because the only date on the copyright page is 1968: "First published in 1968" and "© 1968"; however, it is likely to be later because (a) it has an ISBN (so not earlier than 1970), (b) it has a higher price than the first edition/printing. The price is less than the 1975 pb reprint, so likely to be earlier than 1975.
- The copyright page also gives an ISBN for a hardbound version : 0 207 12804 9
- The source of the Broderick story is given as A Man Returned (Horwitz, 1965); however, from other sources (e.g. The MUP Encyc. ... [Ed.: Paul Collins]), it was a reprint in that collection. (Hence the May 1964 dating.)
