The author kept only a few dozen copies of his first book, which he says are "buried in the backyard." But Grisham also fields calls from associates who find one of those rare copies of A Time to Kill, and he's "always interested if the book is in great shape." Not only are first-edition copies of A Time to Kill rare and expensive, they're made harder to find by Grisham's own rare-book collecting. The first print run of Grisham's 1989 debut A Time to Kill had only 5,000, cheaply manufactured copies, many of which have not held up to the wear and tear of nearly 30 years on the market. A first-edition copy of best-selling author John Grisham's first book is worth more than $4,000 in very good condition, but you'll be hard-pressed to find one.
