About This Item
Harper and Brothers, 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. VERY GOOD/Very Good. 230 pp. 8vo. Blue finished cloth backed in black, silver gilt lettering to spine, silver gilt publishers stamp to front board, deckled fore edge, black and white photographs. Ex-parish: First Christian Church, Center Point, Iowa, some very light scuffing to endpapers from bookplate and pouch removal, tips just nudged, exceedingly clean and fresh otherwise. DJ shows some shelf wear and just a bit of loss to extremities. First Printing of Dr. King's first book, and account of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the beginnings of the Nonviolent Civil Rights Movement. This copy seems to have gone straight from the bookstore to First Christian Church's library in Center Point, Iowa. It is, for that reason, about the freshest and brightest copy you're likely to see. Before removal, the lending pouch tragically listed no borrowers. .
