Editions

The first edition of Dead Children Playing was released in 2006, designed to accompany Donwood and Yorke's art exhibition at the Iguapop Gallery in Barcelona, Spain,[3] from November 26 to December 16.[4][5] The book quickly sold out and was re-released in 2007.

The second edition was released on 1 October 2007 by Verso Publishing. This edition included 12 more pages than the original printing, containing writings that are also available on Donwood's website.[2] The second edition also had a different cover: "Manhattan" from the series of artwork that accompanied Radiohead's 2003 album Hail to the Thief.
