Hangover Square
Patrick Hamilton · Constable & Co. (London) · 1941
The Constable London 1941 edition is the true first. The first American edition followed from Random House, New York, in 1942, retitled 'Hangover Square, or the Man with Two Minds' — a single volume in grey cloth stamped in black and silver, about 308 pp.; it is the first American only, and its altered title and different collation make it easy to separate from the true first.
