A Prayer for Owen Meany

Precedence is debated. The Toronto Lester & Orpen Dennys edition (Canada, 1989) is widely cited as a legitimate first trade edition issued alongside the US Morrow trade edition, and dealers treat both as 1989 firsts. A Franklin Library signed limited edition, full leather with gilt page edges, was also issued in 1989. Collectors who want the earliest issue should weigh the Canadian Lester & Orpen Dennys edition and the Franklin Library signed edition against the US Morrow trade first.
