The Bottoms

Joe R. Lansdale · Subterranean Press (true first, limited) / Mysterious Press (first trade) · 2000

Correction: the Subterranean Press limited edition (2000) precedes the Mysterious Press trade edition by roughly six months and uses a different (uncut) text, making it the true first edition of the work. The Mysterious Press hardcover (2000) is the first trade edition and the first appearance of the published text. Buyers should specify which they want, as the two are textually different.
