Outlander

Diana Gabaldon · Delacorte Press · 1991

The UK edition was retitled Cross Stitch (Century, 1991) and is a genuinely separate, far scarcer printing of about 2,000 copies; collectors treat the US Outlander first and the UK Cross Stitch first as parallel firsts under different titles, neither a state of the other. Both appeared in 1991; the US publisher changed the title from Gabaldon's original Cross Stitch because it sounded like a craft project.
