Putting the Boot In

Dan Kavanagh (Julian Barnes) · Jonathan Cape (London) · 1985

UK Jonathan Cape (London), 1985, is the true first edition. Cape published the Duffy books first; the subsequent title in the series, Going to the Dogs, appeared from Pantheon in New York in 1987, but a distinct US edition of Putting the Boot In is not independently confirmed here. UK-first precedence is secure.
