The true first is the Henry Holt hardback, New York, 2014. Bloomsbury published the first British edition in London the same year as a 319-page illustrated hardback, ISBN 978 1 4088 5121 0. Library records also list a Bloomsbury 2014 paperback, ISBN 978 1 4088 5122 7; no source found says whether it appeared alongside the hardback, so check the ISBN on the copyright page or jacket to be sure you have the hardback. No source found gives the jacket price, the print run or how the first impression is marked.
Bloomsbury's most collected books, the Harry Potter first impressions, are identified on the copyright page: the first publication year as the only date and a number line running all the way down to 1.
Read the full guide to Bloomsbury Publishing first editions, decade by decade, and check your copy's copyright page against it. Our number line decoder reads the printing from the row of numbers.
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.
