The Sundial

The true first is the US Farrar, Straus and Cudahy edition, New York, 1958; Jackson was an American author published first in America. The first English edition appeared from Michael Joseph, London, in the same year, 1958, in maroon cloth with the spine stamped in gilt and collating 254 pp.; it follows the US issue and is catalogued as the first English edition, not a co-first. Both are collected, but precedence belongs to the Farrar, Straus and Cudahy. The census note is correct.
