Yeh, but now I've got to wait for that boat to cruise on over to the UK...

Are you sure? Each book has a different ISBN. Possibly identical other than publisher name and ISBN & Price/Currency on DJ?

Well, looking at Amazon UK, it does appear that Frances Lincoln does have separate ISBN numbers, so I would assume the copyright page reflects that (not having seen anyone share an image of that yet). So they are different!

Difficult choice then - follow the author (get the UK edition), or get the true first edition (the US edition was released a month before the UK one). Decisions, decisions...

Francis Lincoln one here at £13.94 with free UK Delivery

I have ordered both - so will be able to report back when they arrive.

No dustjacket. But the US edition does have the Princeton logo on the spine and with the UPC code on the rear cover, which also has the US price on it. I would assume the UK edition differs there as well.

The official "publication" date is what matters; doesn't really matter what one ended up washing up in the shops first. However, it does now appear I've ordered the "wrong" one. Which as I said, is defo your fault!

I may need to bite the bullet & do a remy...

I may need to bite the bullet & do a remy...

Mea culpa... I definitely blew this one.

I blame the virus (and the constantly moving publication dates).

Not the only thing you're to blame for recently...
