In the Shadow of Man

Jane van Lawick-Goodall · Collins (London) · 1971

UK true first: Collins (London), 1971 is the originating edition and is collected as the true first; the US edition, Houghton Mifflin (Boston), 1971, is a same-year 'first American edition' that is also collected. Both appeared in 1971 and no source consulted documents an exact month precedence, but the trade uniformly treats Collins as the first and Houghton Mifflin as the American issue.
