Scouting for Boys

Robert Baden-Powell · Horace Cox (London) — six fortnightly parts · 1908

UK first; two editions are collected and must be distinguished. The true first is the six fortnightly PARTS (issued through Horace Cox from 15 January 1908); the first BOOK / one-volume edition is the C. Arthur Pearson Ltd. cloth issue of 1 May 1908 — a 'first in book form,' not the true first appearance. No US or original-language precedence issue.
