Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First edition. Quarto. 411pp. Illustrated. Green embossed cloth. Llight wear to covers, some fading to the endpapers and light foxing to first and last two leaves, a very good or better copy. The 1947 University of Alabama Yearbook depicts Harper Lee (here known as Nelle Lee or Nelle Harper Lee) at least five times including head shots (as one of only three women) in the law school and in the Chi Omega sorority, as editor of the *Rammer Jammer* and as a "campus personality". Perhaps not surprisingly for the era, the yearbook's theme is largely about "chicks," "cheesecake," "charm," "co-eds," "couples," and similar observations and references to female pulchritude or marriageability.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Two volumes of the yearbook of the University of Alabama, where Harper Lee studied law between 1945 and 1949. The 1947 Corolla shows Lee as editor of the humor magazine Rammer Jammer; sitting on the Board of Publications; voted one of the "campus personalities"; pictured as a student of law; and as a member of Chi Omega and of Triangle, an honor society of seniors who guide freshmen. In all, at least a half dozen pictures of Lee. Wear to the edges, rubbing to the joints; near fine. The 1948 Corolla pictures Lee only as a campus personality: before completing her degree requirements, Lee left law school for New York City, where she worked as an airline reservations clerk (and wrote To Kill A Mockingbird). From Lee's campus newspaper, as quoted in the book Harper Lee by Kerry Madden: "[Lee] is a traditional and impressive figure as she strides down the corridor of New Hall at all hours attired in men's green striped pajamas. Quite frequently she passes out candy to unsuspecting freshman; when she emerges from their rooms they have subscribed to the Rammer Jammer." Check marks in text; board edges worn; very good. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings.
