The Green Man

The true first is the UK Jonathan Cape edition, London, 1969. The first American edition followed from Harcourt, Brace & World, New York, in 1970 — a full year later, in a jacket designed by Paul Bacon — so it is a first American edition only, not a co-first or simultaneous issue; the census note is correct. Collectors seeking the first edition want the Cape; the Harcourt is collected as the first US appearance.
