Description
A first edition, first printing of ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ published by Heinemann in 1960. A very good book without inscriptions. In a very good unclipped wrapper with a little wear to the edges and one paper repair to the head of the spine. A little creasing. Rare first UK edition in a much nicer dust wrapper (designed by Fraitini) than its American counterpart (in our opinion).
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.
