Autobiography of a Yogi

Paramahansa Yogananda · Philosophical Library (New York) · 1946

US precedes; US-only for the true first. Philosophical Library, New York, December 1946 is the true first edition. The first British edition followed from Rider and Company, London, 1949 (403 pp., publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering, photo frontispiece); it is collected as the first UK appearance but is not the true first. The book was written in English, so no original-language precedence question arises.
