    Did you get a study copy of the book?

    I got the regular book...
    And is that a quote?
    But why are the last names not given?

    Ohhhh... I understand now...

    "Mr." is what Celie calls her husband. That's his nickname. You'll find out what his real name is later in the book.

    Is that what you meant?

    Are there blanks other than "Mr. ___" because if not, then HistorianChick explained it.

    Enjoy it, it's a great story!
