Pylon

William Faulkner · Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, New York · 1935

The US edition (Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, New York, published 25 March 1935) is the true first and precedes the UK edition. Chatto & Windus, London, published its edition later in 1935 in a reported printing of 2,900 copies; it is the first English edition and is collected in its own right, but it does not compete with the US issue for precedence. Both the 310-copy signed limited issue and the trade issue are Smith & Haas 1935 firsts — the limited does not follow the trade.
