Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Roald Dahl (illus. Joseph Schindelman) · Alfred A. Knopf (US) · 1964

The US Alfred A. Knopf edition (1964) is the true first, preceding the UK George Allen & Unwin edition (1967, illustrated by Faith Jaques, issued without a jacket) by three years. Identify the first printing by the six-line colophon ('Paper manufactured by S. D. Warren Co.') on the last page and the SBN-less first-state jacket, not by the 'First Edition' statement alone.
