How to identify this edition
These points tell this edition apart from other printings and editions of The Color Purple.
✓ Copyright page: “First edition” stated, with the letter line B C D E
✓ Binding: off-white paper boards with a purple cloth spine, lettered in silver
✓ Price: $11.95 on the front flap (unclipped); later printings kept it, so the price alone doesn’t prove a first
