Cold Hand in Mine

UK first: Victor Gollancz Ltd, London, 1975 — the true first and the edition collected as such. It precedes the first American edition, Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1977, which is collected in its own right chiefly for its Edward Gorey dust-jacket illustration; the Scribner's binding is described as black cloth with silver spine lettering under a white jacket with black type, but that description is single-sourced and should be treated as provisional, and no first-printing point for the Scribner's issue (statement, number line or seal) could be confirmed. One correction to the census note: the 1975 World Fantasy Award for Short Fiction went to the story "Pages from a Young Girl's Journal", which first appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, February 1973 — the award attaches to the story, not to the Scribner's edition or to either book. The Faber (2014) and Tartarus Press reissues are "first thus".
