How to identify this edition
These points tell this edition apart from other printings and editions of Postmortem.
✓ Copyright page: full number line “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1”, ending in 1, below the Library of Congress cataloging data
✓ Dust jacket: bound hand illustrated by Winslow Pinney Pels, “A Mystery Introducing Dr. Kay Scarpetta” at the top; price and barcode on the jacket
✓ Price: $16.95 on the front flap (unclipped) — later printings kept it, so the price alone doesn’t prove a first
✓ Binding: black cloth spine, red paper boards, spine lettered in silver
