Pawn of Prophecy

Census claim confirmed but its framing needs correction. The US paperback original precedes everything, and the claim that "hardcover editions are later reprints" is right for the wrong reason: there was no UK hardcover contemporary with the first at all. The UK first was a Corgi (London) paperback, and the LoC-derived catalogue record for the Corgi printing reads "Originally published: New York : Ballantine, 1982," independently fixing US precedence. The Transworld hardcover (ISBN 0-593-02616-0) is a 1992 book, not an early UK hardcover. Only the Del Rey pbo is collected as the first edition.
