THE COLOR PURPLE. ***SIGNED ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION***

Walker, Alice

Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2022

First edition, first printing. The SIGNED 40th Anniversary Special Edition. Specially signed by Alice Walker to the publisher's tipped in "signed by the author" page. Walker's "indelibly affecting" (New York Times) epistolary novel has become a cultural touchstone in modern literature, and this special edition is one likely to remain appealing. Complete with its purple ribbon marker, the cover design is intended to pay homage to the original US hardback. The author became the first African American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction with her novel, which also won the National Book Award. The book, of course, in turn became a major 1985 film, directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover & Oprah Winfrey. A Very Fine copy in purple boards with mauve endpapers, and Very Fine dust-wrapper.
