Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

True first is W. H. Allen, London, 1958 — the census claim is confirmed. This was Sillitoe's first novel and won the Authors' Club Best First Novel Award for 1958. The first American edition is Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1959 (239 pp.), issued in a priced jacket with the price at the flap; it is collected as the American first but follows the London edition. Both are collected; the W. H. Allen 1958 has precedence.
