Still Alice

The US self-published iUniverse edition (2007) is the true first edition; the Simon & Schuster hardcover (New York, 6 January 2009) is the first trade edition and the first hardcover. Both are collected — the iUniverse for precedence, the 2009 hardcover as the first properly published appearance. The census claim of "Pocket/Simon & Schuster 2009" needs one correction of nuance: the 2009 imprint is recorded as Pocket Books by Open Library and Wikipedia and as Gallery Books by several retailers and dealers. Gallery Books was the successor that absorbed Pocket's trade line in 2009, so both names attach to the same book under one ISBN — an imprint-naming artifact, not two different editions. The cleanest independent corroboration of the precedence is cataloguing rather than dealer copy: two separate library MARC records (the 2009 Wheeler large-print issue and the 2010 Pocket paperback) both carry the note "Originally published: New York: iUniverse, Inc., 2007." No British or foreign-language edition precedes the US.
