        Reprint Edition 1974 by Arno Press Inc. Copyright © 1970 by Unicorn & Son, Publishers. New material Copyright © 1974 by R. Reginald. ... Reprinted by permission of R. Reginald Reprinted from a copy in the California State College, San Bernardino Library First published 1970 as STELLA NOVA: THE CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE FICTION AUTHORS; reprinted 1974 by Arno Press Inc., with additions and changes by the author. ...
      and the following LoC CIP Data also has 1974. Presumably I have the first Arno printing, because it has a purple cover, but because of the contradiction of title page cf copyright page, I left the dates as 1975-04, as they were before I edited this record. [... clarkmci, May 2015]
