Treasure Island

The UK Cassell 1883 edition is the true first book edition; the 1884 US (Roberts Brothers, Boston) edition follows. Serialization in Young Folks (1881-82, as 'The Sea Cook') predates the book but is not a book edition. The dated rear advertisements ('5R-10.83') and the uncorrected textual readings above confirm the earliest state; because these points are heavily faked, verify several together rather than relying on any single one.
