My Struggle: Book One (A Death in the Family)

On documented publication dates the UK Harvill Secker hardcover ('A Death in the Family,' 9 April 2012) actually precedes the US Archipelago paperback ('My Struggle: Book One,' 1 May 2012) by about three weeks, making the Harvill Secker the earliest English-language appearance. The two are best treated as competing firsts; collectors who require chronological priority should favour the Harvill Secker, while those who want the canonical American title and text take the Archipelago paperback.
