THE COLOR PURPLE
by Walker, Alice

- Hardcover
- first
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1982. First edition. Fine. First printing of Alice Walker's breakaway success, a book centered around the experience of African-American women in the rural South. THE COLOR PURPLE is an epistolary novel about an African-American family in Georgia, following the fate of two sisters through their letters to each other. The book is particularly famous for the beauty of its language, which Walker shapes with astonishing perfection. Walker notably appreciated the design for the first edition dust jacket, remarking that the house "looks almost exactly like the church I attended as a child." A controversial winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the book remains a frequent target of censorship, despite its predominant themes of love and resilience. An American classic. 8.25 x 5.25''. Original quarter purple cloth with cream paper boards, silver-lettered spine. Original unclipped purple typographic dust jacket designed by Judith Kazdym Leeds. [8], 245, [1] pages. Ink ownership inscription on front pastedown, else fine.

First edition of this lively popular history of aeronautics, from Daedalus to the Wright brothers, with a particular emphasis on historical ballooning anecdotes of the most sensational kind. . This book's chapters gather stories of flight both failed and successful, from the terrible fireworks accident in Madame Blanchard's "luminous balloon" and the double-balloon blunderbuss air duel of two slighted Parisians, to the development of scientific theories of winged flight and the invention of pedalled flapping-machines, to the dawn of zeppelins, dirigibles, and rigid airships. Capped with selected "Aerial poems and quotations, " including an anonymous ode to the "Pony Named Rose" who ascended in Mr. Green's balloon over Vauxhall Gardens and came down safely again. With contributions by Major B. Baden-Powell, aviation enthusiast and brother of Scouting founder Robert Baden-Powell. . 7'' x 4.5''. Original green cloth boards stamped with a balloon and an…
