Thank you for the revised date.

There's a lot of mis-information out there regarding the publication of this book with a lot of website sellers stating 1997. This is untrue, though I've been unable to confirm the precise date, but do know that I was sitting at Loch Fleet with a friend looking at it in 1974/75 and it had just been published.
