Winnie-the-Pooh

A. A. Milne (illus. E. H. Shepard) · Methuen (UK) / E. P. Dutton (US) · 1926

The UK Methuen edition (14 October 1926) is the true first. The US E. P. Dutton edition, also 1926, followed and is the first American edition (Dutton's own signed large-paper limited ran to 200 numbered + 26 lettered copies). Both the Methuen trade first and the Dutton first are collected; Methuen precedes. Because both trade issues are green cloth, distinguish them by the imprint and the 'First Published in 1926' Methuen copyright leaf, not by colour.
