Dating clues from the advertising at the back of the book are:

- Ad on page [128] for Avon G1054 Station Wagon in Spain by Frances Parkinson Keys. This was first published in 1959 though Abebooks sellers report that Avon G1054 was published in 1960.
- The publisher is stated on the title page as "Avon Book Division" over "The Hearst Corporation". The publisher name is not on the copyright page. This has been normalized to "Avon" for ISFDB.
