To Kill a Mockingbird
by Lee, Harper
To Kill a Mockingbird is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was instantly successful and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on the author's observations of her family and neighbors, as well as on an event that occurred near her hometown in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with serious issues of rape and racial inequality.
First edition identification
It is estimated that only 5,000 copies of To Kill a Mockingbird were published in the first printing, and two states of the book were printed. The order of the states are heavily disputed, with one of the states including a review by Shirley Ann Grau and Phyllis McGinley, and the other state featuring a review by Jonathan Daniels. There was not a printing statement in the first printing, but the price tag of $3.95 can be found on the lower corner of the front flap of the dust jacket. The first edition also has a quote from Truman Capote reading “Someone rare has written this very fine first novel: a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humor. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable.”--Truman Capote.
Other Collectible or Notable Editions
Like Mockingbird, the cover art for the first edition of Watchman features a tree and the same signature type font. An unknown number of copies in the first UK edition were misprinted, with pages 252-277 missing text at the bottoms of the pages. As those copies are most likely quite rare, some have already skyrocketed in value.
