Description: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Advance reading copy of the first edition Philadelphia and New York: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1960. Advance reading copy of the first edition of Harper Lee's classic novel. Bound in publisher's original stiff cream wraps. What now presents as a first issue is likely from the second issue: The first issue of this advance reading copy employed Courier typeface on the front cover and for the second issue a new cover was pasted over that with a sleeker type. Offsetting from glue to front cover here in this instance most likely indicates this was a second issue in which the upper pasted-on layer of the second issue front cover was removed. Otherwise, Very Good with subtle repair to spine and lesser so to covers, lean to spine, light edge wear, pages toned and with sporadic light soiling, soiling to inside rear cover and final leaf. The scarce advance reading copy of To Kill a Mockingbird, arguably one of the most important works of literature written in the 20th century. Exhibited with laudatory remarks in bold on the front cover, "This first novel has hit the jackpot!" Housed in a custom drop-back leather box lettered in gilt and with a bookplate signed by Harper Lee laid in.
