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.
