The text of Go Set a Watchman is known to have been written before that of To Kill a Mockingbird, and since its release it has been widely acknowledged as precursor to the famous novel, with many passages repeated in To Kill a Mockingbird. Octavo. Original pale brown leather, titles blocked in blind to spine, mockingbird design in black to front cover, brown endpapers printed with mockingbird pattern, edges gilt, brown silk bookmarker. Housed in the publisher's green cloth solander box. A fine copy, retaining the unopened publisher's numbered tissue wrap, in the original numbered cardboard box.
