signed first edition
1960 · USA
by Harper Lee
Third Impression; A Very Good plus book in a Very Good early issue dust jacket (with Harper Lee photo to the back panel and Capote blurb to the front flap). SIGNED by the author to a laid in bookplate. An outstanding copy of this title, an absolute classic of American Literature, scarce with Ms. Lee's signature; now housed in a custom clamshell box. This copy is in very good or better condition with clean green and brown boards, sharp brown lettering over a tight spine, and clean white pages throughout; the book does show some light rubbing and sunning to the board edges, a faint vertical crease down the back board, and a few tiny age spots to the exterior text block, else near fine or better. Housed in a crisp and clean original price clipped dust jacket that shows moderate rubbing and creasing to the panel edges, corners, and flap folds, an inconspicuous crease to the back panel (corresponds to the crease to the back board), a couple of short closed tears to the spine foot, and a faint damp stain to the bottom panel edge along the spine foot. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy, greatly enhanced by the laid in signature. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
