Dhalgren

Samuel R. Delany · Bantam Books, New York · 1975

The true first is the paperback original; there was no prior US or UK hardcover. The later Gregg Press (1977) library hardcover is the first hardcover but not the true first, which the Bantam PBO precedes. The imprint reads January 1975, though copies reached shelves in December 1974.
