Note: Current ISFDB guidance has led to the regularization of this title. There is a case for leaving the Canonical title as "MUgwump Four": the capitalisation of the first two letters is understandable given the nature of the story. However, the capitalization is NOT retained by at least one "Mugwump 4" variant. Spoiler alert if you're the sort of person that even hates to see a synopsis here.

3/6?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).
