The British first edition is the Hamish Hamilton hardback, London, 2013, 491 pages, ISBN 978-0-241-14648-4. The American first from Knopf and McSweeney's (ISBN 978-0-385-35139-3, 504 pages) is a separate edition, and some sellers mislabel one as the other, so check the publisher and ISBN. The Penguin paperback (978-0-241-14650-7) followed on 24 April 2014. No bibliographic description of the British jacket, printed price or copyright page was found.
We have not yet confirmed the issue points that tell this first impression from later ones. Until we do, compare your copy's title page and copyright page with the publisher, place and year above: any later printing or edition statement means it is not this one.
