Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Near fine. First Edition. Octavo (21 cm), pp. 4-471. Quarter black cloth over yellow boards, gilt-stamped titling. One of the remaindered copies of McCarthy's most autobiographical novel, this volume has an unclipped jacket which retains its brightness, but has a small closed tear on the rear pan…el. Boards are likewise clean and unbumped, though the text block has faint foxing on all sides.McCarthy's bibliographers, Paul Ford and Stephen Pastore, compare Suttree to Huckleberry Finn, finding the former more of a Heart of Darkness-style journey down the river, "a tragic story of dreams and aspirations gone awry." They continue, "When Suttree gets delirious with a fever, we see McCarthy at his best. The imaginary and dreamy landscape of Suttree's journey through the mountains of his fever-addled brain presages the magnificent and lyrical prose that so epitomizes Blood Meridian.".

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First edition, first printing. Inscribed by Cormac McCarthy in black ink on the half-title page to Santa Fe bookseller, Nicholas Potter: "For Nicholas | With fond best wishes | from your friend | Cormac." 451 pp. Octavo [21.5 cm]. Publisher's black cloth and crea…m paper-covered boards stamped in gilt. Black dust jacket with orange, yellow, and olive green typography and ornamentation, designed by Jack Ribik. First edition clearly stated on the copyright page. Dust jacket with "$12.95" price intact at top-front flap and "2/79" code at the bottom of the rear flap. A Near Fine copy, with only minimal, sporadic surface soil and gentle wear to the edges and corners of the boards, perhaps lightly read. The text block is solid and square. The dust jacket is likewise Near Fine, with only very light surface rubbing and some minor edgewear near the folds. An attractive copy with an intimate association. A significant association copy, warmly inscribed by the notoriously reclusive author to his long-time friend, the late Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter. A short note in Potter's hand is laid in: "Scarce 1st edition inscribed to me in the mid 90's." Throughout a friendship spanning forty years, Potter?s bookstore served as a frequent destination for McCarthy, where the two shared a rapport rooted in their mutual appreciation of literature, art, music, and history. This volume represents a vital fragment of that connection; McCarthy, who famously avoided public life, inscribed most of his published works to Potter. The first printing of Suttree consisted of a run of just under 6,500 copies, and was the only printing of the first edition of this work. It was another commercial failure for McCarthy at the time, selling less than 3,000 copies before being remaindered by the publisher. Suttree is McCarthy?s most expansive and picaresque work, marking the culmination of his ?Southern Gothic? period (preceded by The Orchard Keeper, Outer Dark, and Child of God). Set in the decaying riverside slums of mid-century Knoxville, Tennessee, the narrative follows Cornelius Suttree as he navigates a grotesque carnival of scattered river-dwellers. It is a masterpiece of character and atmosphere that balances dark humor with existentialism through its dense, philosophical prose. Signed.

Of course, C&W replaced the copyright a…nd title pages and provided a new dustjacket design. We wonder what happened to all those US wrappers?! Exceptionally rare. This book near Fine without internal markings. Some light spotting to page edges and gentle wear to boards. Bright titles to quarter-cloth black spine. In an absolutely exceptional wrapper without any loss, tears or restoration. Easily the best example available. Clean, bright and unfaded. It is extremely hard to find the wrapper in this condition, which is made from a very flimsy thin paper. Price of £6.95 to front flap. Slight creasing to spine. Now in removable Mylar. Cat.

Suttree is the fourth of McCarthy's novels to be published,…but he had started it well before his first, The Orchard Keeper, appeared in 1965 to great critical acclaim. The principle scene of Suttree is Knoxville, Tennessee in the early 1950's. The central figure, Cornelius Suttree, is a fisherman who lives in a dilapidated houseboat on the river.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition, first printing. Widely regarded as his most expansive and intimate novel, Suttree is a Southern Gothic masterwork steeped in the grotesque, comic, and redemptive. It has drawn comparisons to Joyce's Ulysses in its episodic sprawl and to Faulkner's As I Lay Dying in its rendering of domestic alienation and rural fa…talism. Written over the course of two decades, it stands as the pivotal work between McCarthy's early Southern novels and his later mythic epics. Suttree enriches the Southern Gothic tradition by giving voice to the lives that most literature ignores, while eschewing sentimentality. Lyrical and harrowing, its dense, poetic language conjures a world of decay and dignity. Remainder stamp to bottom edge, else fine in very near fine dust jacket, in mylar cover. Publisher's quarter black cloth over yellow boards in Jack Ribik dust jacket ($12.95).

Author(s): Cormac McCarthy Title: The Orchard Keeper, Suttree, Blood Meridian Publication: New York: Quality Paperback Books by Vintage, 1993 Edition: First and only printing Description: The Orchard Keeper, Suttree & Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. First printing of the omnibus…edition by Quality Paperback Bookclub, which is a division of Vintage. This edition is scarce in general. This is the only known signed copy. This copy signed to Blanco under the first title in the collection, The Orchard Keeper. This is quite a unique item not only because it was very rare for Cormac to sign a softcover volume, but also because this edition is not as easy to find as the other softcover editions. This edition contains Cormac s (for some) magnum opus, Blood Meridian, as well as two of his other most desirable titles! An absolutely fabulous piece and very unique. I wonder how many of these exist signed? Book in VG condition with some soiling throughout especially to the text blocks. There is a small, closed tear to the bottom left front wrap, which has a small piece of tape to the verso. There is very little wear to the spine and very little bow to the book as typically seen with a large volume. It s likely been read sparingly, but I can take more photos if needed. Inscribed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. very good +. First Edition. First printing, octavo size, 479 pp., inscribed by Cormac McCarthy. Cormac McCarthy (born Charles Joseph McCarthy, Jr., in 1933), is acknowledged by many as one of the greatest contemporary American writers. His first novel, "The Orchard Keeper", won a 1966 William Fau…lkner Foundation Award for notable first novel; "All the Pretty Horses" would win the National Book Award in 1992, and "No Country for Old Men", conceived as a screen play (and later turned into a novel) won four Academy Awards. He would eventually author twelve novels, three short stories, five screenplays and two plays. This work, "Suttree" was McCarthy's fourth published novel, although he began writing it twenty years earlier, well before the publication of "Orchard Keeper". The story features Cornelius Suttree, who has left his prominent family and the society they represent, "choosing instead a different world inhabited by people who live precarious, desperate, often violent, lives" (n.b., quote from dust jacket flap). Inscribed by McCarthy on the title page "For Lambert & Marianne / With Love / Cormac". We were, alas, unable to trace who the inscribees were; however, it is special to have a first edition by this award-winning author so warmly inscribed. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter black cloth over yellow paper-covered boards, gilt lettering and publisher's device stamped onto the spine, author's initials with decorative rules stamped in gilt onto the front board, inscribed by McCarthy in blue ink as set forth above on the title page, stated First Edition on the copyright page (which per Zempel denotes the first printing for Random House); octavo size (8 3/8" by 5 3/4"), pagination: [i-viii] [1-3] 4-471. Dust jacket has the original price of $12.95, yellow, green, and orange lettering upon a black ground, black-and-white photo of the author on the back panel, summary of book on both flaps. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, with clean boards and spine, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and free of prior owner markings; a hint of dustiness to the board edges, light foxing and dustiness to the text block edges, a trace of soil on the front endpapers, and a lightly pencilled mark on the verso of the rear free endpaper (prior bookseller's code?). The unclipped jacket better than very good, clean and not sunned (the red colours on the spine as deep as on the front panel), with light overall edgewear. ___PROVENANCE: We acquired this book from a collector who purchased it from an ABAA member who confirmed the signature, details available upon request. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of the author's fourth novel and what many consider to be his finest. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Orin All The Best Cormac." The recipient, Orin Borsten was a screenwriter and publicist, who began his career as a child actor in Atlanta and appeared…on Broadway in the American Way. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Jack Ribik. Housed in a custom clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. An exceptional example, uncommon signed and inscribed. Suttree is the fourth of McCarthy's novels to be published, but he had started it well before his first, The Orchard Keeper, appeared in 1965 to great critical acclaim. The principle scene of Suttree is Knoxville, Tennessee in the early 1950's. The central figure, Cornelius Suttree, is a fisherman who lives in a dilapidated houseboat on the river. Estranged from his prominent family, he has withdrawn from the society they represent, choosing instead a different world inhabited by people who live precarious, desperate, often violent lives. "McCarthy is a writer to he read, to be admired, and quite honestly- envied" (Ralph Ellison).
