"To Kill a
Mockingbird" has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and remains a fixture on school reading lists.
To Kill a
Mockingbird was originally published in 1960 by William Heinemann in the UK.

Mockingbird'--a superior reading experience, with its larger trim size and greater durability--at the lower price they have become accustomed to," Michael Morrison, the president and publisher of HarperCollins, said in a news release.
Published in 1961, To Kill A
Mockingbird has been in print for more than five decades and few works have received so much analysis.

Mockingbird author Harper Lee last week, it seems astonishing we would want to go down that route considering what her book gave to the world.
