Friends and Colleagues,

I am featuring this week a second printing of To Kill A Mockingbird.

Do I like that it is second printing and not a first?  No I do not.

Do I like that it is in a decidedly worn dustjacket?  No I do not.

Do I like that the binding itself is a bit cocked? No I do not

So why are we featuring this book?

Do we like that this copy is not price-clipped?  Yes we do!

Do we like that the jacket flap states second printing.  Yes we do!

Do we like that Truman Capote’s photograph of Harper Lee is on the jacket?  Yes we do!

And mostly we like that the book is so beloved, and so uncommon, that even tatty copies of the second printing are hard to come by and desirable.

Cheers,

Nick
