I could never get a search hit on it  , because of course the library owned only American edition copies. I couldn't find it in the catalogue until I did a search by author name  |
I had the same problem when I did a search online with my local library to check that they had
The Color Purple, but of course automatically typed it with the U inserted. They didn't have that version, but do have it with the US spelling!
