    1/6?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).

  • Format:
    digest?Digest-size magazine, including both standard digest size, at about 7" by 4.5", and also large digest, such as recent issues of Asimov's, which are about 8.25" by 5.125".
  • Type: NOVEL
  • Cover: The Devouring Fire (1951) • by Ron Turner
  • Notes: The artists signature: "R.T." was taken from left front, above the "By Vargo Statten" line on the cover. The cover paper was more like an artist specialty paper than the usual paperback or magazine cover stock. The publication is stapled, it contains two staples with the cover page glued to the pack. The binding is not similar to a standard paperback. This is an earlier form of binding derived from pre-WWII digest-style magazine bindings, originally modeled on the format used for Reader's Digest. Adds: synopsis, printing month. Information on page 44, Harbottle/Holland. Tuck III, pg. 648, bot. rt. col., states Scion, 1951, 112 pages, 1/6.
