Yes! We Have Your Mockingbird.

The publisher of the smaller, less-expensive version (mass market edition) of the classroom classic “To Kill a Mockingbird” has announced it will no longer be publishing that edition. Adams Book Company has always stocked titles that schools need, and “To Kill a Mockingbird” remains one of the most popular.
We still have the mass market edition available, and while you may have seen it in the news as “the $8.99 version,” our everyday discount for 10 or more copies means you can still get it for $5.84 each (35% off), while they last.

Going forward, there will still be several editions in print, the least expensive of which will be a $14.99 trade paperback that Adams will sell for $8.99 each when ordering 10 or more copies; this represents a 40% discount from cover price. But if you prefer the mass market version, now is your chance to get new copies in class-size quantities.

Call today or visit us online. Lots of other titles are in stock for quick shipment, and we can get any book in print.
