The Man in the Red Coat (Random House Canada, 2020)


Notes on this edition: The first Canadian and first American editions are identical in pagination but vary in wording to the title page, copyright page, and dust jacket design. The Canadian edition states on the title page that the jacket design is by John Gall, but the jacket states the design is by Suzanne Dean, who was responsible for the Jonathan Cape dust jacket design. Since the Canadian edition replicates Dean’s design, the designation of “John Gall” is a carryover from the American first edition, which does feature a new jacket design.

The Man in the Red Coat (Jonathan Cape, 2019)


Notes on this edition: This first edition, true first printing of Julian Barnes’s The Man in the Red Coat features a publication error later corrected in a subsequent first edition printing. The photo of Oscar Wilde on page [33] is captioned: “Oscar Wilde as Salomé”. The title page also indicates the first printing was “Printed and bound in China by C&C Offset Printing Co., Ltd”.

The image of Wilde was changed and newly captioned: “Wilde as a Greek”. In all other respects, the edition is identical, except the copyright page now indicates the book was, “Printed and bound in Italy by L.E.G.O. S.p.A.” (see additional images below). The corrected volume does not indicate a second printing.

The images above for the first edition, true first printing also show two versions of the back of the dust jacket. One shows the ISBN barcode as printed, while another image shows a replacement sticker that was used on “Signed” copies, as indicated by a sticker on the front of the jacket, also pictured above.
