Rare Book Spot

Harper Lee’s portrayal of life in a small Alabama town captured the essence of the South at one of its most trying times. To Kill a Mockingbird became an immediate bestseller and won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Lee’s only novel is considered a classic, chronicling the story of two children during the 30’s economic depression as they bear witness to  a small town’s widespread prejudice, bigotry and ignorance. Against this dark backdrop lies the perspective of innocence through the eyes of an inquisitive young child Scout, who develops a growing friendship with their reclusive neighbor Boo Radley.

Harper Lee’s masterpiece is a story of growth and process, very thought-provoking and inspiring. This is a must-have for rare book collectors. Collectors copies start at $350. Signed copies can reach $15,000-$35,000 dependent on condition. Keep an eye out for first editions and high quality dust jackets.
