"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing."
First edition of the author's only novel; one which garnered her the Pulitzer Prize. Octavo, original green cloth backed brown boards, titles to spine in gilt. Light wear to the bottom of the cloth, near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket with just the lightest of rubbing. Signed by the author "For _____ _______ with my best wishes Harper Lee" on the front free endpaper. Housed in a custom quarter morocco clamshell box. The first edition had an estimated first printing of 5,000 copies. A excellent copy of a book that is very rare in this condition and signed.
To Kill a Mockingbird became an immediate bestseller and won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The New Yorker declared it "skilled, unpretentious, and totally ingenious". It has gone on to become of the best-loved classics of all time and has been translated into more than forty languages selling more than forty million copies worldwide. Made into the Academy Award-winning film starring Gregory Peck. Named the best novel of the twentieth century by librarians across the country (Library Journal).
