How to identify this edition
These points tell this edition apart from other printings and editions of Manchild In The Promised Land.
✓ Copyright page: “Copyright © Claude Brown 1965” with no printing line above it (later printings add “Second Printing 1965”, “Third Printing 1965”…)
✓ Binding: red cloth, spine lettered in gilt and black, red top stain
✓ Dust jacket: Harlem street photograph by Leroy McLucas, title in red script
✓ Price: $5.95 at the top of the front flap (unclipped); later printings kept the same price, so the price alone doesn't prove a first
