Description: When I pointed to him his palms slipped slightly, leaving greasy sweat streaks on the wall, and he hooked his thumbs in his belt. A strange spasm shook him, as if he heard fingernails scrape slate, but as I gazed at him in wonder the tension slowly drained from his face. His lips parted into a timid smile, and our neighbor’s image blurred with my sudden tears. “Hey, Boo,” I said. Here we offer the first book club edition of Harper Lee's classic 1960 novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, complete with its original first edition dust jacket that features a rear cover photo of the author, credited to Truman Capote. Soon after the book was published, Lippincott replaced the photo with some blurbs, so only the true first editions, book club or book store editions, feature the photo.
