The Lies of Locke Lamora

Scott Lynch · Gollancz (London) · 2006

Census claim confirmed. The Gollancz UK hardcover (1 June 2006) precedes the first US edition, Bantam Spectra hardcover, New York (27 June 2006, ISBN 0-553-80467-7, 499pp) by roughly four weeks. Both are collected — the Gollancz as the true first, the Bantam as the first American edition, which unlike many US-follows-UK cases is itself a hardcover.
