The Worlds of Theodore Sturgeon
The Goodreads URL:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Goodreads entry is Paperback, 398 pages.

My 1972 first edition of the book is a Mass Market Paperback, 286 pages.

Urbana Free Library agrees with 286 pages, though other libraries in WorldCat have 398.

Also, no ISBN is spelled out directly anywhere on the book, but the spine reads:
441
91060
095

441 is the ISBN code for Ace Books, the book's publisher, and 91060 is the serial number of the book on the cover and in the advertising section in the back. The 095 could be the 95 cent cover price.

So I'd guess the ISBN might be 0441910600. I don't know if that could be verified somehow and added.

Additional info for your consideration:

BACK COVER TEXT:

Theodore Sturgeon, winner of the International Fantasy Award, favorite of anthologists, bestselling author of fabulous science fiction novels and much sought-after story collections, is here presented in a new collection of stories.

Representative of Sturgeon at all the periods of his career, ranging from science fiction to the weird and startling, here are thrilling tales, most of which have never before been reprinted in any book.

Here are rare novelettes like THE SKILLS OF XANADU, THERE IS NO DEFENSE, THE OTHER MAN, and THE PERFECT HOST. Here, too, are some of the Sturgeon classics like MATURITY and SHOTTLE BOP, and some that are of classic-status like THE SKY WAS FULL OF SHIPS. In short, here are ... THE WORLDS OF THEODORE STURGEON.
