A sixth printing (FG) of Spiders has no price listed anywhere. © 1968. No change in the contents or cover art. Golden Press probably published books without prices so sellers could set their own price. (not shown)

ISBN 0-307-24021-5 on the back cover. Listed as a Golden Guide on the cover and a Golden Nature Guide on the inside front cover.
