  • Type: NOVEL
  • Cover: Down to Earth (1975) • by Jack Newnham
  • Notes:
    • Seems to be a copy of the Puffin UK edition for sale in Australia - only an Australian price, plus "Printed in Hong Kong ..." on the copyright page, but Penguin UK is the first of five Penguins listed on the copyright page.
    • Seems to be 3rd printing:
        Published in Puffin Books 1972 Reprinted 1978, 1980
    • Title page simply "Penguin Books", no locale
    • Front cover art not specifically credited. First page states "Cover design by Jack Newnham". It is not in the same style as the interior art (as b/w back cover may be). Newnham taken to be the cover artist. Apparently same style as cover of An Older King of Magic credited to Newnham.
    • OCLC: WorldCat apparently lacks a record of this printing
    • Novel spans p[7-192] with p8-189 numbered
    • p[6] is the author's "note to readers, especially professors" concerning the events to be reported: ... "I wish to make it clear that I cannot enter into any correspondence about the events described in these pages." ...
