The Hill of Dreams
Arthur Machen · E. Grant Richards, London · 1907
The true first is the London edition: E. Grant Richards, 1907. Dana Estes & Company, Boston, issued the book in the United States in 1907 in red cloth, 309 pages, with the Sime frontispiece; sources consulted uniformly style the Estes a 'first American edition,' which places the Grant Richards ahead of it. The census hypothesis that the Estes issue was made up from imported English sheets is NOT documented in any source I could reach — the shared 309-page collation is consistent with shared sheets but is not proof, and this claim should not be published as fact.
