The Autobiography of Malcolm X as Told to Alex Haley (Grove Press / Evergreen Black Cat, 1966 Mass Market Paperback)

Early Grove Press / Evergreen Black Cat mass-market paperback edition of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, as told to Alex Haley. The copyright page states First Paperback Edition 1966 and identifies this copy as the 12th printing. This is Evergreen Black Cat B-146, with the original $1.25 cover price, striking red-and-black Malcolm X photographic cover, and red-dyed page edges. The edition includes the introduction by M. S. Handler, Alex Haley’s epilogue, and the essay “On Malcolm X” by Ossie Davis. This copy shows moderate handling and shelf wear, some rubbing and soiling to the white wrappers, and a dark mark to the lower fore-edge, but remains solid and visually appealing. Contemporary bibliographic references identify B-146 as the 1966 Grove paperback issue.
