Go Set a Watchman

Simultaneous publication on 14 July 2015: Harper (New York) in the US and William Heinemann (London) in the UK. Neither precedes the other; both are collected, and the US Harper printing is the standard collected first. The Heinemann first is a separate book with its own points: "First published in Great Britain by William Heinemann in 2015" on the copyright page, an odd-then-even number line (1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2), light blue boards lettered in black on the spine, and a bird-silhouette jacket front with the faint italic line "BY THE AUTHOR OF TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD". Fedpo additionally records a production defect affecting part of the initial UK run, in which pages 252, 261, 265, 268, 272 and 277 are cut short at the foot, losing the page numbers and the closing lines of text. The novel is an earlier-written manuscript published after To Kill a Mockingbird, so it is a first edition of its own text, not a first thus.
