Lee, Nelle Harper. (b. 1926). To Kill a Mockingbird - Signed and Inscribed to Lee's Publicity Director. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott. 1960. First edition, 10th Impression. A fine association copy, signed and inscribed in blue ink on the first free end page to Isabelle Holland, “To Isabelle, With love and admiration of a grateful Nelle, May 4, 1961.” In fine condition, with minor light staining to front cover and spine, dustjacket with scattered small creases and edge wear, small paper losses at spine extremities. 5.75 x 8.25, 296 pages.
Isabelle Holland (1920 - 2002) wrote more than 50 books herself, and was especially known for her young-adult novels tackling serious subjects, though she also wrote gothic suspense and mystery thrillers and held various publishing jobs. As publicity director at J. B. Lippincott Company, one of the first books she worked on was "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, with whom she began a lifelong friendship.
Lee's only published novel was instantly successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. In 2008, a Uk Guardian survey of librarians ranked the book ahead of the Bible as one "every adult should read before they die."
