  2/6^?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).
• Pages: 312
• Format:
  hc^?Hardcover. Used for all hardbacks of any size.
• Type: NOVEL
• Notes: The second ("Cheap") edition. Jenkins typically produced a second printing at lower cost, with thinner paper. However, Glenn Lord and some former Jenkins employees believe that in this case, the price of the original edition was just reduced to sell the remaining unsold copies. No copy of the publication is known with thinner pages. It may be that some of the known copies were the "cheaper" edition, but without the dust jacket, there is no way to tell.
