To Kill a Mockingbird
by Lee, Harper
First Edition Identification and Notes
It is estimated that only 5,000 copies of To Kill a Mockingbird were published in the first printing, and two states of the book were printed. The order of the states are heavily disputed, with one of the states including a review by Shirley Ann Grau and Phyllis McGinley, and the other state featuring a review by Jonathan Daniels. There was not a printing statement in the first printing, but the price tag of $3.95 can be found on the lower corner of the front flap of the dust jacket. The first edition also has a quote from Truman Capote reading “Someone rare has written this very fine first novel: a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humor. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable.”--Truman Capote.
Other Collectible or Notable Editions
Like Mockingbird, the cover art for the first edition of Watchman features a tree and the same signature type font. An unknown number of copies in the first UK edition were misprinted, with pages 252-277 missing text at the bottoms of the pages. As those copies are most likely quite rare, some have already skyrocketed in value.
