To Kill a Mockingbird.

By Harper Lee.

Philadelphia & New York: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1960.

Octavo. Original two-tone cloth, green spine and brown boards, spine lettered in brown; in the original first-issue dust jacket designed by Shirley Smith.

Fifteenth Impression, as stated on the copyright page.

A solid, clean example of an early printing of this Pulitzer Prize–winning American classic, housed in the correct first-issue dust jacket. The book itself is in very good condition: binding tight and square, cloth clean, spine bright, pages fresh with no foxing; a contemporary gift inscription on the front free endpaper.

The dust jacket is the correct first-issue example, with Pulitzer Prize mention on the front panel and first-issue typography throughout. Jacket shows moderate wear, including rubbing to the extremities, small chips and creases at the spine ends, and visible water staining to the rear panel. Spine remains legible; front panel retains good color and presence. Jacket is not price-clipped and is now protected in a removable archival sleeve.

While not a first printing, this copy represents a highly collectible early impression in the correct first-issue dust jacket, increasingly scarce in any presentable condition. An attractive, honest copy suitable for a collector or institutional holding.
