Notes on Garp editions courtesy of Joseph Sharp:
04.a The World According to Garp. New York: Durron, 1978. "First Edition" stated on copyright page. Reported printing of 35,000 copies. Irving's breakout book. He switched publishers to Dutton, who promised a much more aggressive promotional campaign that that of his previous novels.
04.b The World According to Garp. Toronto:Clark Irwin & Co.
04.c The World According to Garp. London: Victor Gollancz, 1978. First British edition. Irving's first book to be published in the UK. Unlike the plain-looking US dust-cover, the British & Australian editions share a colorful, pictorial design by London-based graphic artist Brian Grimwood (doubful he had time to read the book, since artwork doesn't match the subject).
04.d The World According to Garp. Sydney: Hutchinson of Australia/Victor Gollancz, 1978. First Australian edition. From the British sheets & shares the same cover art.
