Although internally completely unmarked and quite fresh, the boards, sadly, are dreadful: stained, worn and generally unsightly.

Having been put away and treasured for years, this, the original dust jacket -- $3.50 price intact -- is gloriously fresh, clean and bright, truly Fine but for some infinitesimal, hardly noticable minor creases primarily at spine extremities and, on dj verso, some rough separation lines from having once been glued to the book . Additionally, this copy is signed on the front free endpaper by Mary Badham who starred as Scout in the iconic film adaptation. The actress has penned her name then the name of her character: Mary Badham / "Scout" Please inquire if one wishes to purchase the dust jacket ONLY. Bookseller Inventory # ABE-4270258165

Later, modern rendering of the original dustjacket in perfect facsimile. 296 pp. Fine internally with only very light mellowing to the boards and spine. VERY SCARCE FIRST EDITION, Harper LeeÕs timeless novel is one of the more sought after items in modern American literature LeeÕs first and only novel would win her the Pulitzer Prize and captured the heart of an entire nation.
