Rogue Moon

The paperback original IS the first edition — the hardcover-first assumption fails outright here, exactly as the census states. L.W. Currey confirms the 1960 Fawcett Gold Medal paperback original as the true first edition. The first hardcover is Gregg Press, Boston, 1977, in The Gregg Press Science Fiction Series: text offset from the 1960 Fawcett edition, with new introductions by Budrys and Joseph Milicia, copyright page stating 'First Printing, June 1977'. Per Currey, the Gregg Press edition was issued in cloth WITHOUT a dust jacket — so a Gregg copy 'lacking its jacket' is complete as issued, and any jacket on one is foreign to it. The first UK hardcover is Victor Gollancz, London, 1978. Neither hardcover displaces the 1960 Gold Medal.
