The Color Purple

New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1982. Boards. Very Good +/Near Fine. SIGNED BY ALICE WALKER DIRECTLY ON THE FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. A very sharp copy to boot of the 1982 stated (and correct) 1st edition, with the publisher's BCDE code underneath. Solid and VG+ to Near Fine, with a small, discreet former owner inscription at the top of the front free endpaper. And in a bright, price-intact ($11.95), Near Fine dustjacket. Smooth and crisp and with vibrant color. The landmark book which won its author both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and, in so doing, made literary history by making Alice Walker the first female African-American writer to take home the Pulitzer Prize in fiction.
