The Border Trilogy (Set of Signed First Editions; All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain)

Set of First Edition/First Printings of The Border Trilogy; All books in Fine condition housed in Near Fine to Fine dust jackets. All volumes SIGNED by the author to the half-title page (Cities signed to the 2nd half title page). A stunning set of this award winning and seminal trilogy from one of the great authors of the last century; scarce signed and in this condition as a set. "All the Pretty Horses" in Fine/Fine condition showing only slight rubbing to the spine foot, a very faint spotting to the jacket spine, and a slight smudge to CM's signature; "The Crossing" is in Fine condition with only a faint vertical rub to the front panel; "Cities of the Plain" in as new condition with no visible flaws. Overall, an exceptional set, rarely found with all volumes signed; a bucket list item for the McCarthy fan and a unique addition to any 20th century literature collection! Provenance: from the Sydney Boone collection, a prominent Houston collector of modern literature. Now in a custom clamshell box by Wang. No book remaindered, no book price clipped, no book ex-library; all books in protective sleeves and will ship carefully wrapped in a new sturdy box.…
