Not After Midnight, and Other Stories

Daphne du Maurier · Victor Gollancz, London · 1971

The true first is the UK Victor Gollancz edition, London, 1971, titled 'Not After Midnight, and Other Stories'. The US edition (Doubleday, Garden City, 1971) was retitled 'Don't Look Now' after the collection's best-known story and, per L.W. Currey's cataloguing, appeared later the same year — it is a first American edition, not a simultaneous issue, so the census note calling the two simultaneous is not supported and is corrected here. Both are collected: the Gollancz for precedence, the Doubleday as the first appearance under the title by which the work is now generally known.
