The Big Money
John Dos Passos · Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York · 1936
True US first; precedes the UK Constable edition of 1936. The trilogy was first gathered into one volume as 'U.S.A.' by the Modern Library in 1937 (Harcourt, Brace issued its own one-volume 'U.S.A.' in 1938); the illustrated three-volume boxed set with Reginald Marsh illustrations was published by Houghton Mifflin in 1946 in a signed limitation of 365 copies. Each of those is its own separate first, not a state of the 1936 volume.
