House of Leaves

US only — Pantheon Books, New York, 2000, is the true first; there is no earlier or rival foreign first, and no original-language question arises. Hardcover and trade paperback were published simultaneously on 7 March 2000, with a small hardcover release carrying signed inserts reported on 29 February 2000; the hardcover is the collected form and the paperback is a simultaneous, not subsequent, issue. UK editions follow the US. The author's conceit that the 'the printed pricet edition' was the internet release is a fiction internal to the novel, not a bibliographical edition, and does not displace the Pantheon 2000 printing as the true first.
