Need someone to check usual sources for price, publisher and date of publication for UK edition

The lead for this novel lacks the source and retail price for the UK edition. It also needs the source usually used for the publisher and date for the US edition. The secondary source is already in the text, and the price information from is included as well, as it is an online source (J S Marcus). See A Caribbean Mystery as an example for the flow of the opening paragraph in the lead. The refs here, as seen on the edit, are in cite format & can be inserted as is (as long as the page numbers are the same), once the needed information is found in them.

This is used as source for price and first publication date and publisher for UK edition, does page 15 list it for all the novels? There is no google book for this, and it comes up in no libraries on WorldCat, so who has the book?^[1]

This is used as source for publication date of US edition, though month, year and publisher are in the US/J S Marcus source as well. This Cooper, Pike reference is listed on WorldCat at several libraries in the US, Canada and the UK.^[2]

Related to this. The article has:

2006, Marple Facsimile edition (Facsimile of 1962 UK first edition), 3 January 2006, Hardcover, ISBN 0-00-720854-5

But does not list a 1962 UK first edition. In fact, the first edition is earlier. ?? --John (User:Jwy/talk) 06:22, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
