The Unvanquished

US Random House, New York, 1938 is the true first. Within that publication the signed limited issue of 250 copies precedes the trade printing — Bauman Rare Books states the trade first was "preceded by a signed limited edition of 250 copies" — so the limited, not the trade, is the earliest issue; both are collected, and the trade first in jacket is the standard collector's copy. The first English edition followed from Chatto & Windus (London) later in 1938, set to 319 pp., and carries no precedence claim. First-thus trap: several of the seven linked Sartoris stories had appeared earlier in magazines, so periodical appearances predate the book, but the collected book text is first published here. The census claim is confirmed, with the correction that the 250-copy signed limited precedes the trade printing it named.
