How to identify this edition
These points tell this edition apart from other printings and editions of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
✓ Last page (“About the Author”): six-line colophon, the fifth line reading “Paper manufactured by S. D. Warren Co.”
✓ Dust jacket: no ISBN on the rear panel
✓ Price: $3.95 at the top of the front flap (unclipped); early later printings kept it, so the price alone doesn’t prove a first
✓ Binding: red cloth, title blind-stamped on the front board, spine lettered in gilt, mustard endpapers
