<li>PR #187 features a list of the new Heyne paperbacks ("Neu in diesem Monat"), including nos #3041 and #3042. As per Terra #385 they were published in March 1965.

<li>PR #175 features a list of the new Heyne paperbacks ("Neu in diesem Monat"), including nos 3035 and 3036. As per Terra #372 they were published in December 1964.

Only option 3 allows for #175 having a December ad (with publication not on the scheduled 1 January 1965 but instead on 30 or 31 December 1964 together with #174).
