I, the Jury

Mickey Spillane · E. P. Dutton (hardcover); Signet/NAL (first paperback, 947) · 1947 (hardcover); 1948 (Signet paperback)

Included here as a caution: the iconic mass-market Signet is NOT the true first; the Dutton hardcover precedes it. The Signet edition is a 'first thus' (first paperback). The Signet number 699 is the first paperback issue; later Signet printings carry higher numbers and printing statements.
