  • Notes:
    • Undated third printing that states "Berkley Edition, OCTOBER, 1978" over "Third Printing". There is no number line. Amazon shows "Berkley (October 1, 1978)" but that may be the date of the first printing.
    • The only dating clues within the publication are that the price had not increased from the first printing and there is no barcode on the back cover though there's a UPC barcode on the inside of the front cover. The ad on the last page offered publications up to 1978. This ad has an error which that The Dark Design by Philip José Farmer was listed as "The Dark Decision 03831-9 $2.25".
    • The ISFDB records for other printings list the publisher as "Berkley Books". That phrase does not appear in this publication. Ideally this publication would be filed under "Berkley" but that's being used as the catch-all name for Berkley publications where the imprint has not been determined. This publication was filed under "Berkley / Berkley Publishing Corporation". See the Bibliographic Comments for details.
    • The artist is not credited; Alexander is on the cover.
    • The cover title is reflective silver (they went to flat yellow in the fourth printing)
