Description: To Kill A Mockingbird Author: Harper Lee Title: To Kill A Mockingbird Description: Pirated Taiwanese edition, circa 1960. Very Good Plus condition. Original dust jacket in Good condition.During the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, Taiwan was known for producing pirated editions of popular Western books due to the lack of strict copyright enforcement. These editions were often sold at a lower price than the legitimate versions, making them accessible to a broader audience in East Asia.The pirated editions typically had lower production quality, with differences in paper, binding, and sometimes even the translation if the book was translated into Chinese. These editions were circulated in the region but were not officially recognized by the book's author, publisher, or copyright holders. As a result, the authors and publishers did not receive royalties or compensation for these sales.Following the major literary success after its 1960 publication, Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" was among many Western books that were pirated and distributed in Taiwan during that era. Despite being unauthorized, these editions played a crucial role in spreading Western literature to a broader international audience and are now considered significant collectibles that are difficult to find today.
