The Tokyo-Montana Express
Richard Brautigan · Delacorte Press / Seymour Lawrence · 1980
True first trade edition is the 1980 Delacorte Press / Seymour Lawrence hardcover. A separate signed, limited edition containing only twenty of the pieces was issued earlier by Targ Editions (1979) in an edition of 350 signed copies; that is a distinct prior book, not a limited issue of the 1980 Delacorte first.
