Books

First British edition of McCarthy's first book. Near-fine with a touch of shelf wear, otherwise bright and clean inside and out. In a near-fine dust jacket (price intact) with minor wear at the spine ends and corners, and a very faint ripple toward the bottom left portion of the front panel, noticeable only when the book is held up to the light at a certain angle. A beautiful copy.

The Orchard Keeper was Cormac McCarthy's first novel, a work of rich, poetic prose, telling the intertwining tales of a rural trio trapped by acts of violence and a mysteriously connected orchard.
