	Gad, that's precious little to go on. As far as my info. tells
me, "Revolt of the Triffids" is the title of the first american paper back of
"Triffids", however that doesn't guarantee you anything. The original
price on the book should have been '.25', if so you have the first
printing of that title. I do no/t know if there was a british printing
that might have predated.
