A first edition, first printing published by Heinemann in 1960. A very good book without inscriptions with some spotting to the page edges and foxing to the endpapers. In a very good unclipped wrapper with a little wear to the edges and some light chips to the spine tips and corners. Some internal staining to the spine not visible externally. Rare first UK edition in a much nicer dust wrapper (designed by Fraitini) than its American counterpart
The first UK edition of “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was published in 1960 by Heinemann. Unlike the U.S. edition, which had an iconic cover featuring a simple, yet evocative design of a tree, the UK edition featured a cover with a more elaborate and colourful design, depicting the Finch family house and characters from the novel. A landmark American novel.
