World War Z

The census claim is CONFIRMED, and the precedence is cleaner than "UK followed" suggests. The US Crown (New York) 2006 hardcover is the true first. The UK issue from Gerald Duckworth & Co (London, 2006, ISBN 0715635964 / 9780715635964) was published as a TRADE PAPERBACK, not a hardcover, so it is not a competing hardcover first and does not challenge the Crown's precedence on either date or format. Written in English; no original-language question. Collectors pursue the Crown hardcover.
