There does not appear to be a missing copyright as I cannot see any evidence of a removed page and the normal copyright location has printed "©Editor's Forward, Introduction and Appreciation Edio-Service S A Geneva" opposite the Table of Contents (see photo) which is undated. "A collection distributed by Heron Book" is opposite the title page. The introduction and appreciation both are undated
The final page has "This book designed by Warner Schelling in a production of Edio-Service S A Geneva" and "Printed in Switzerland".

I tend to grade as follows, and will sometimes add a + or - if a book is borderline for caegory. Specific notes for books are usually in the writtem description by each book and a summary at top.
