The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money

UK true first: Macmillan, London, February 1936 has precedence and is the edition of record. The first American edition — Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York, 1936, xii + 403 pp., also in blue cloth lettered in gilt — is separately collected as the first US and follows the London printing within the same year. CAUTION: dealer descriptions of the Harcourt Brace issue conflict on how it was manufactured (some say it was made up from British sheets and printed in Edinburgh; others record printing by the Polygraphic Company of America, New York), and this workflow could not resolve the conflict — do not publish a manufacturing claim for the US edition. Collect the London Macmillan for the true first; collect Harcourt Brace only as the first American.
