Juneteenth

US Random House (New York, June 1999) is the true first. The census note naming Hutchinson as the British publisher is INCORRECT and is corrected here: the first British edition was published by Hamish Hamilton (London), 368 pp., in December 1999, ISBN 0-241-14084-6 — some months after the American edition. The US issue is the true first and the one collected; the Hamish Hamilton is the UK first, and both may be named where both are wanted. Ellison died in 1994; this is a posthumous novel assembled and edited from his manuscripts by his literary executor John F. Callahan, so there is no author-supervised earlier state.
