Treasure Island (text by Robert Louis Stevenson; the inaugural Scribner's Illustrated Classic)
N. C. Wyeth · Charles Scribner's Sons (New York) · 1911
Precedence: the ordinary Scribner's trade first printing IS the true first — no signed/numbered/deluxe/large-paper limited issue of the 1911 Treasure Island was ever produced, and there is no UK/US precedence question (this is a US-origin Scribner's book). Among the trade printings the true first is distinguished by the Table-of-Contents "23"-for-"123" error (Chapter XVI, Part IV, "The Stockade"); the second printing, still dated 1911 on both title and copyright pages, corrects this to "123." Signed/numbered deluxe and fine-press formats exist only for much later editions (Scribner's numbered revivals begun 1981; the modern Suntup Editions letterpress limiteds) — not for the 1911 Wyeth Treasure Island.
