NY: Knopf, 1998. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. From the library of Jim Harrison in Livingston, MT. One of a thousand copies signed by McCarthy for friends of the author and publisher. Laid in is the business card of Gary L. Fisketjon, a Knopf VP and Editor-at-Large, on which is written "for you, signed." The third book in McCarthy's famed Border Trilogy. A very near fine book with one small pale spot to red top stain; in a near fine jacket with one strip of rubbing to real panel where cloth turns to paper on the underlying board. A great association.
