    • Month from Locus #263 (December 1982) who states this was published after the Doubleday edition.
      The review slip for the Doubleday edition had a publication date of 1982-10-08 but the Catalog of Copyright entry (TX0000998358) states that it was actually published on 1982-09-20. Which would make the Doubleday edition the true first.
