• Notes: This ISFDB record was cloned from the verified 13th printing based on an Amazon image. Stated "First Printing, March 1951 / 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20." While there are several pages of advertising they are not dated though it may be possible to date the publication by looking at all the titles to see which has the most recent first Signet publication. The publication date for this ISFDB record was set to the YYYY-MM of the first printing and the -DD of the printing. One confusing aspect is that while the first printing is stated as "March 1951: the most recent copyright stated is 1953 meaning either a copyright was renewed or the publication was revised since the first printing. This ISFDB record was cloned from another Signet edition but the list of stories was different implying it has been revised at times. The cover artist is not credited but the signature "Szafran" is clearly visible and it's assumed this is Gene Szafran.
