Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson

The US Doubleday edition (New York, 18 August 1997) is the true first edition. The UK first followed from Little, Brown, London, in 1998 (Amazon UK records a 12 April 1998 issue) and has no precedence; it is the collected British first, but only the Doubleday is the first edition. A further trap: the Hodder & Stoughton UK issue of 2001 is later still and is "first thus" only, despite being the UK edition most often encountered. One census claim is not supported and should not ship: the note that the Doubleday first printing was "small / pre-phenomenon" is plausible given the book's later Oprah-driven run through many printings, but no print-run figure is documented in any source consulted, and none should be quoted.
