To Kill a Mockingbird was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, 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 the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. One critic explains the novel's impact by writing, 'In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism.'.

Book Description: Lippincott, Philadelphia, 1960. Softcover. First Edition. The first issue of the advance reading copy of her first and only novel, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the basis for the award winning film. The publisher's note on the cover calls the publication of this first novel "rare fun and lift," promising to "furnish a jackpot of sales during the summer," and the Truman Capote blurb emphasizes the book's humor and calls it "so funny and so likeable." None of this is unusual for publishing hyperbole, but in retrospect it seems ironic that the book was marketed in terms that would seem more suitable for light summer reading than for a Gothic novel of racism and prejudice set in the deep South. In any event, the book became a cultural touchstone and it has retained its relevance as a commentary on, and criticism of, racial discrimination in the decades since its publication in the early years of the Civil Rights movement. There were two prepublication issues of the book: this one, with the Courier typeface, publication announced as "in July," and cover text apparently addressed to booksellers, and a second issue, with a sheet overlaying the front cover with more polished typesetting, a publication date specified as July 11, and cover text more generally aimed at readers. Slight spine lean; mild spine creasing; one small red spot and some edge-sunning to the off-white wrappers. A near fine copy of the first prepublication issue of one of the great American novels of the 20th century; one of the nicer copies we have seen. Bookseller Inventory # 029394

Book Description: Philadelphia and New York J.B. Lippincott Company 1960, 1960. First edition. 8vo, publisher’s original brown boards backed in green cloth and lettered in dark brown on the spine. 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 Lee’s timeless novel is one of the more sought after items in modern American literature. Lee’s first and only novel would win her the Pulitzer Prize and captured the heart of an entire nation. It would go on to win acclaim all over the world. Perhaps Margaret Mitchell is the only other American author to achieve such notoriety for writing a single book, but quite unlike Mitchell’s grand and sweeping drama, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is warm and personal, human in scope yet vast in implication.
