Fever Pitch

The Victor Gollancz, London, 1992 hardcover is the true first edition worldwide and the only edition with first-edition standing. The census note that a revised 1994 US edition exists is NOT corroborated and is corrected here: no US hardcover first is recorded, one dealer (Lorne Bair Rare Books) records the first American appearance as a Penguin (New York) pictorial paperback dated 1992, and the Riverhead Books US trade paperback (published 1 March 1998, per the publisher's own catalogue) is a 'first thus'. Because the US appearances are paperback and later, there is no UK/US precedence contest — collectors take the Gollancz hardcover.
