Funeral in Berlin

The UK edition is the true first: Jonathan Cape, London, 17 September 1964. The first American edition followed from G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1965, and is collected in its own right, but it is a first American edition only — the Cape printing precedes it by roughly a year. The two are physically unmistakable: the Putnam book has white boards with a black spine and silver lettering, red endpapers, and a grey reproduction of the Quadriga on the Brandenburg Gate to the front board echoing its jacket. Note one source defect: the Deighton Dossier dates the Putnam edition to 11 January 1966, but that is the date it also gives for the Putnam Billion-Dollar Brain and appears to be a transcription error; L.W. Currey and multiple independent dealer catalogues date the first US edition to 1965, which is followed here.
