Dog Soldiers

The census claim is confirmed. The US Houghton Mifflin (Boston) 1974 edition is the true first. The first UK edition is Secker & Warburg, London, 1975, and carries a notable wrinkle worth recording: it is a mixed issue, with Secker & Warburg stated as publisher on the title and copyright pages but Houghton Mifflin appearing on the spine and dust jacket, no price present on the jacket, and a text block slightly bulkier than the American first. Stone's bibliographer Ken Lopez notes the British edition is scarce. The UK issue is collected in its own right but is preceded by the American first. Winner (shared) of the 1975 National Book Award for Fiction.
