As a commodity To Kill a Mockingbird has also had an impact. It was first published by J.B. Lippincott & Co. It was then published numerous other editions as well as forty different languages. Each edition has a different cover; one reason is that "during the 20th century, publishers sough a variety of approaches to market books including book design consideration," (As Commodity Class Notes).
Besides being a bestseller novel it is also an awarding winning movie. "When the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird came out in 1962, the character of Atticus became forever entwined with the actor who portrayed him, Gregory Peck. But whether you first encountered him on page or on screen, Atticus was unforgettable — a modest man of great integrity, he managed to impart his wisdom without being too preachy," (Neary). Peck would win an Oscar for his role in this movie.
