Life of Pi

Yann Martel · Knopf Canada (Toronto) · 2001

Knopf Canada 2001 (Toronto) is the true first and precedes all. Canongate (Edinburgh/London) 2002 is the first UK edition and the Booker Prize issue; Harcourt (US) 2002 is the first American edition. Both the Canadian and the UK firsts are collected — name both — but precedence runs Canada 2001 → UK / US 2002, NOT the other way around.
