First edition · Signed · In dust jacket

First UK Edition; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. A TLS (typed letter signed) laid in, from the author, accompanied by the original mailing envelope; the letter discusses how To Kill a Mockingbird brought changes to her life, including not being able to answer letters in a timely fashion, and how the book's continued success is a "mystery to me"; letter in fine condition. A beautiful copy of this first UK edition, uncommon in this condition; the TLS a unique piece of ephemera, signed letters rare in the marketplace, particularly a letter that discusses TKAM. This book is in Near fine condition with only some light rubbing to the edges, a mild age-toning to the text block, and a previous bookstore's small sticker to the front pastedown; housed in a clean and bright near fine dust jacket that shows some light rubbing to the edges and corners, else fine. A highly presentable and collectible copy, with a one of a kind letter included. Not remaindered, not price-clipped, and not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
