No One Writes to the Colonel and Other Stories

Gabriel García Márquez · Harper & Row · 1968

True first edition in English and García Márquez's first book to appear in English, predating the English One Hundred Years of Solitude (1970). US precedence is not close: the first UK edition (Jonathan Cape, London) did not appear until 1971, three years after the Harper & Row first, so no US-versus-UK month question arises.
