Ring (Ringu)
Koji Suzuki · Kadokawa Shoten, Tokyo (Japanese true first); Vertical, Inc., New York (first English edition, 2003) · 1991
No Western-style book-club issue applies. The reprint traps are the Kadokawa Horror Bunko paperback (24 April 1993, ISBN 4-04-188001-7), which is where the book's mass readership actually began and is very commonly offered as "the 1991 first," and the post-1998 film tie-in printings. On the English side, the HarperCollins 2004 and revised 2007 texts are "first thus," not firsts.
