Fatherland

Census claim confirmed. UK Hutchinson, London, 7 May 1992 is the true first and precedes the first US edition from Random House (New York) — sources give the Random House date as either 26 May or June 1992, and both fall after Hutchinson. Both editions are collected. The Random House first is identified by its own house convention: a stated first-US-edition line on the copyright page with a number line whose lowest surviving digit is 2. That is a genuine trap — under the usual "the 1 must be present" rule a Random House first reads as a second printing, and it is not. US and UK jackets carry different artwork.
