To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee, 1960, First Book Club Edition, Facs Dust Jkt

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 of the Month Club (BOMC) edition of Harper Lee's marvelous American classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, published by J.B.Lippincott Company, Philadelphia in 1960. This is a ninth impression, which was reserved for book clubs and indicated by a "W" under the copyright. Features BOMC divot on the lower right of the rear board. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first retail edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Columbia Journalism School's Radcliffe Publishing Course has named Mockingbird as the best novel of the Twentieth Century. It is listed as one of 12 chosen by Encyclopedia Britannica as the "Greatest Book Ever Written."Boards have moderate edge wear and light soiling (please see pics).
