The Hound of the Baskervilles

Arthur Conan Doyle · George Newnes (London) · 1902

The UK Newnes edition (published 25 March 1902) precedes the first American edition — McClure, Phillips & Co. (published 15 April 1902) — by about three weeks; UK before US. Both are collected: the UK Newnes is the true first, the US McClure, Phillips is a separate American first. The Strand Magazine serial (Aug 1901–Apr 1902) predates book form but is a periodical, not a book edition.
