50 years ago today...

An unassuming clerk at an airline counter in New York, originally from central Alabama, wrote one of the most enduring classics of American literature... To Kill a Mockingbird.

The book was released to store shelves fifty years ago today, and was an instant best-seller. What is REALLY amazing is that it has remained on the best-seller list ever since... fifty years on the best seller list, and it has never gone out of print, with more than 30 million copies sold.

A damn good book...
