Star Maker

Methuen, London, 1937 is the true first and the only original — census confirmed. There was no contemporaneous American edition: US publication followed only decades later (a Berkley paperback in 1961 and the Dover omnibus pairing it with Last and First Men in 1968), so no US first competes for precedence and there is no original-language question. Star Maker is the companion cornerstone to Last and First Men (Methuen, 1930) and the two are collected as a pair; only the Methuen issues are firsts.
