Book First Edition
First edition (stated). First printing of McCarthy's grim epic Western. The jewel of McCarthy's oeuvre, and one of few resoundingly great novels to have so far escaped the peril of film adaptation-most recently slipping nimbly from the grasping hands of James Franco-as its greatness rests in large part on its unadaptable prose. BLOOD MERIDIAN is a book from which those who love it best can recite unprompted; even those who love it somewhat less have the last paragraph by heart. McCarthy's great and terrible Judge Holden is one of a select few twentieth-century characters to achieve immortality without inspiring ten thousand easy imitations: no warmed-over archetype, but a whole new monster. A landmark in US literature. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original quarter red cloth with red boards, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($17.95) dust jacket, designed by Richard Adelson. [8], 337, [1] pages. Large chip to top of jacket spine and front panel with matching fading to book. Small loss to top of spine cloth. Else a clean, bright, sharp, and sound example. Very good plus in very good jacket.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition/First Printing. Certain events which took place in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico in 1849 and 1850 provide the framework of the author's fifth book. Blood Meridian can thus be called a historical novel, but it will never be referred to as a Romance of the Old West. Upper board corners lightly bumped. Dust jacket has a few small tears. No remainder mark.
