When To Kill a Mockingbird was published by J.B. Lippincott in July 1960, it became an immediate sensation — a Pulitzer Prize within the year, a major Hollywood film within two, and the beginning of a permanence in the culture that shows no signs of loosening its hold.

Harper Lee's novel of racial injustice in Depression-era Alabama, seen through the eyes of the young Scout Finch and her lawyer father Atticus, manages the rare thing of being at once a profoundly serious moral document and an entirely gripping story.

This HarperCollins Deluxe Gift Edition presents the text in a handsomely produced format with the ribbon marker and slipcase befitting a book that has earned a place in every serious library, its jacket faithfully reproducing the classic original design.

A pristine copy, fine in a fine dust jacket and slipcase, presenting as new. Accompanied by the original publisher's sales prospectus.
