UK Hutchinson (London), 23 October 1986 is the true first; an ABAA dealer states flatly that the British edition precedes all others. The first American edition is Philomel Books, New York, published August 1987, which states 'First impression' — publisher's red cloth-backed grey paper-covered boards titled in gilt, retaining Gary Chalk's illustrations but with new cover art by Troy Howell. Both are collected: the Hutchinson as the true first, the Philomel as the first American edition.
