The Extended Phenotype: The Gene as the Unit of Selection
Richard Dawkins · W. H. Freeman and Company · 1982
True first is the 1982 W. H. Freeman and Company hardcover (imprint dated Oxford and San Francisco). Oxford University Press issued only the 1983 paperback, and OUP later published the 1999 revised edition with the subtitle The Long Reach of the Gene. The original record's 'UK true first (Freeman/Oxford)' framing overstated Oxford University Press's role.
