  • Notes:
      1st ed.
    • Mass market paperback (pb format) WorldCat (OCLC, below) reports 18cm (pb size) and ISFDB records show pb-only from Warner Paperback Library. The report of trade paperback dimensions (8.4in/21.4cm) at Amazon is a puzzle.
    • Cover image from Amazon.com 2018-10-21 as "Warner Books; First Thus edition (1973)"; Paperback, 8.4 in Price and catalog ID are from the front cover, which states below the logo along the spine, "95c 75-141 A Warner Paperback Library Gothic".
    • ISBN 0-446-84659-7, stated by WorldCat and Amazon as Warner Books 1973, may be that of a later printing, after Warner retired the Warner Paperback Library imprint. Other ISFDB records show years 1973/74/75 for ISBN 0-446-75... that this Catalog ID suggests, and years 1977/78 for ISBN 0-446-84...

      On the other hand, for another Dorothy Daniels novel (see), WorldCat reports: -- "Warner Books, (c)1974" -- ISBN 0-446-75401-3 -- "Gothic, 86-210" The front cover probably states, below the Warner logo along the spine, "... Warner Paperback Library Gothic" (price and catalog ID indiscernible). That supports a "Gothic" series in which catalog ID and ISBN are not related in the expected way.
