  8/6^?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: 122
• Format:
  hc^?Hardcover. Used for all hardbacks of any size.
• Type: NOVEL
• Notes:

  • The verification copy has no clear statement of edition or printing, but it includes a © of 1957 and the statement "First published in Great Britain 1957 by Hamlish Hamilton Ltd". In addition, the list of "Other Books" by the author includes the "Worzel Gummidge" novels up through 1956, but not the 1958 "Worzel Gummidge and the Treasure Ship", so we assume this is a first edition.
  • "This is a Hamish Hamilton Reindeer Book for young children to read to themselves". The back cover lists 10 other Reindeer Books with a statement "each 8s. 6d. net", implying that price for this book as well.
