Just like Gilead, there have been claims that the true first edition was published in Canada by HarperCollins. While we have not heard back from Farrar, Straus, Giroux about their stance with Home, they did tell us that both versions of Gilead went on sale at the same time, and that they did the editorial and cover work for both books. So far we suspect the same holds true for Home. Like Gilead, the American edition of Home simply states "First edition", while the Canadian edition of Home states "FIrst Canadian Edition". So you be the judge.

There are four reviews on the back of the dust jacket. Binding is brown cloth with gold lettering on the spine.

To find the market value for this book, click on the pre-filled eBay, AbeBooks, or Biblio links to the right and look for comparable listings that have all of these first edition points.
