A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
James Joyce · B.W. Huebsch (New York) · 1916
Unusually, the US (Huebsch, 1916) precedes the UK. Harriet Shaw Weaver's Egoist Press issue of 22 January 1917 was made up from imported American Huebsch sheets with a cancel title page and English binding, so it is a British issue of the same first printing rather than a separate typesetting. The true first is therefore American.
