The Orchard Keeper.
New York: Random House, 1965. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. A review copy. Includes a "compliments of the publisher" card laid into the book which was sent to early book reviewers. A near fine book in a very good dust jacket. Some wrinkling to the front dust jacket panel, slight fading to the red letters on the jacket spine and archival tape applied to the back of the jacket where the front flap and panel are joined together (this book is notorious for detachment of the front flap as the jacket was scored twice during publication).† A presentable review copy of Cormac McCarthy's important and uncommon first book set in a remote community in Tennessee. He would go on to write such modern-day classics as Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, No Country for Old Men and The Road. More
