The Sunlight Dialogues

John Gardner · Alfred A. Knopf (New York) · 1972

US Alfred A. Knopf (New York), 1972, is the true first; a UK Jonathan Cape edition followed in 1973, so US precedence is clear. (One dealer record misdates the book to 1973 with a 573-pp collation — an error; the correct first is Knopf 1972, 673 pp.)
