  • The Target Books edition was a complete rewrite of the previous edition aimed more at younger readers.
  • Chris Achilleos provided the cover artwork.
  • It had a print run of 50,000 copies and was priced 60p (UK).
  • This title saw a reprint by Target Books, W. H. Allen in March 1980 of 15,000 copies. Despite the, by then, out-of-date information in the first printing, the only difference was a price increase to £1.80 (UK).
