Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie

Maya Angelou · Random House, New York · 1971

No book-club edition documented for this title. The realistic confusion is later Random House printings still dated 1971 — dealers catalogue copies as 'first edition, third printing' and similar — so read the number line rather than the title-page date. A copy lacking the 'First Edition' statement is a later printing.
