    Publ date, price, and cover image from Amazon UK 2017-03-26, with "Look Inside!" that includes: -- front cover (evidently identical to that linked here) -- copyright page: • "English translation copyright (c) David McDuff 2012" (but 2005 Schildt ed. states transl. by McDuff) • two ISBN as "ISBN 978-1-908745-13-2" over "ePub 978-1908745149" -- p16, one of the "sepia watercolours", signed "TOVE", very similar to the multi-colour cover illustration -- back cover Amazon provides images of both front (linked here) and back covers evidently identical to those "Inside".
