Sophie's World

No book-club issue is documented in the sources consulted for either the FSG or the Phoenix House first. The title was a mass bestseller and the later Orion/Phoenix paperback issues — including the Phoenix 60p Paperbacks series (1996) and Orion (1999) — circulate widely and are routinely mislabelled 'first edition'. Treat the derivative Phoenix House offshoots (e.g. Sophie's World: The Greek Philosophers, 1997) and the FSG Teacher's Guide (2007) as separate publications, not printings of the novel.
