- Everything I Never Told You — 2014 · Penguin PressCopyright page states "First Edition" with a full number line down to 1 and the Penguin Press colophon. Ng's debut, published June 26, 2014 (ISBN 9781594205712), with a modest first printing. US Penguin Press is the true first (June 2014); the UK Blackfriars/Little, Brown edition followed. As her scarce debut, the first/first is the key collectible; signed copies are sought. No book-club edition issue; confirm via "First Edition" plus the full number line to 1. Later printings add bestseller and award blurbs.
- Little Fires Everywhere — 2017 · Penguin PressCopyright page states "First Edition" with a full number line down to 1 and the Penguin Press colophon. Published September 12, 2017 (ISBN 9780735224292). First-state jacket without bestseller or Hulu-adaptation banding. US Penguin Press is the true first (September 2017); the UK Little, Brown/Abacus edition followed. Ng signed widely, so clean first-state jackets and intact first printings matter most. No book-club edition issue; later printings drop the 1 and add NYT-bestseller or TV-tie-in bands to the jacket.
