The Bean Trees
Barbara Kingsolver · Harper & Row (New York) · 1988
No book-club issue of the Harper & Row first is documented in the sources consulted, so no club-specific blind stamp or flap tell can be asserted for this title. The reliable tell for a non-first remains the copyright page: absence of the "FIRST EDITION" statement or an incomplete number line. Do not treat a later Harper/HarperCollins reissue or the large-print printing as a first.
