"First Edition" is stated on the copyright page. Book has red paper labeled titles on front and spine. Some later printings do not have paper labels. First issue dust jacket should have no reference to the Pulitzer Prize. It is extremely rare and adds most of the value to the book. Later dust jackets have "Pulitzer Prize Novel" printed on the front in a script font.
Note: the so called "Airplane Edition" is NOT the first edition. These were limited signed editions that have an airplane on the front board and were produced after the first edition.
Scarlet Sister Mary won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
To find the market value for this book, click on the pre-filled eBay, AbeBooks, or Biblio links to the right and look for comparable listings that have all of these first edition points.

 | The book on the left side of this photo is the first edition. It has paper labels on the front and the spine. The book on the right side of this photo is a later edition. It looks similar to the first, but it does not have paper labels. Instead, the titles on the front and spine are printed directly on the book. |
 | The "Airplane Edition" was issued AFTER the first edition. It was signed by the author, and was probably limited to 1,000 copies. |
