The Summer Tree

Census claim confirmed. The Canadian McClelland & Stewart hardcover (Toronto, 1984; catalogues and dealers give October 1984) is the true first and precedes both the first US edition — Arbor House, New York, 1985 (ISBN 0-87795-760-6, 323pp), whose first printing shows a full number line to 1 — and the first UK edition, George Allen & Unwin, London, 1985 (ISBN 0-04-823257-1). All three are collected, but dealers explicitly reserve "the true first edition" for the M&S. This is the same Canada-first precedence pattern as The Handmaid's Tale, and the trap is that US collectors routinely take the 1985 Arbor House for the first.
