The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales

Oliver Sacks · Gerald Duckworth (UK) / Summit Books (US) · 1985

Both the UK Duckworth (London) and US Summit Books (New York) editions are dated 1985. Sacks was British and Duckworth was his long-standing UK publisher, so the Duckworth printing is generally treated as the true first; exact month-of-issue precedence between the two 1985 printings is not firmly documented, so collectors who require the earliest issue should confirm provenance.
