Notes
- First-edition precedence corrected 2026-08-18: the earlier first_edition.date (2009-12-08) recorded the UK ebook release, which predates the print edition by a few months; per the rule, the print edition is used as the canonical first edition whenever one exists, with an ebook date used only when no print edition exists at all. The UK Voyager (HarperCollins) hardcover, March 2010, is the earliest confirmed print edition (day-level precision not independently confirmed; ISBN 9780007264711). A near-simultaneous US Eos/HarperVoyager hardcover followed in April 2010 (ISBN 9780061468377). The 2009-12-08 ebook predates both prints by design (a same-imprint early digital release, the same pattern HarperCollins used for other Feist titles) but is no longer registered as this book's first_edition, since a print edition is now on file and this project always prefers the print edition as the canonical first edition when one exists.
