    'The Psychohistorians' titling is on unnumbered page 7, the story text starts on the first numbered page 9. That styling is the same for all the contents. In previous printings, the titles were on the same pages as the text start. Gloss cover. Note that "Published by Grafton Books 1960" may be a printer's error; no evidence extant of such, only the Panther 1960 edition.
