A Writer's Notebook

W. Somerset Maugham · William Heinemann (UK) · 1949

Both UK Heinemann and US Doubleday editions are dated 1949; reliable sources do not firmly fix international precedence, so the Heinemann edition is best described as the British first rather than a confirmed world first. Each has a separate signed limited issue of 1,000 copies.
