Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man

Siegfried Sassoon · Faber & Gwyer (London) · 1928

The London Faber & Gwyer 1928 issue is the true first, confirming the census claim. The imprint became Faber & Faber in 1929, so a 'Faber & Faber' title page is by definition a later impression or edition, never the first. The first American edition is Coward-McCann, New York, 1929, which carries Sassoon's name and William Nicholson's seven full-page drawings and was printed at the Chiswick Press in London; it is collected in its own right as the first illustrated American appearance, but it does not precede the London edition.
