Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice

Shunryu Suzuki · John Weatherhill, Inc. (New York & Tokyo) · 1970

True first is the 1970 Weatherhill hardcover; Weatherhill was a US/Japan imprint (New York & Tokyo), so the "co-imprint" in the census note simply reflects the publisher's dual address, not two competing editions. The first PAPERBACK followed in 1973. No earlier or competing first-edition claimant.
