196571251New York: Random House 1965. Second printing of the first edition in the first issue dust jacket. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Inscribed by Cormac McCarthy in black ink on the half-title page to Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter: "For Nicholas All the very best Cormac." <br /> <br /> 246 pp. Octavo 21 cm. Publisher's green cloth and light burgundy paper-covered boards stamped in gilt red and blind. Publisher's green topstain. White dust jacket with red and black typography designed by Muriel Nasser. Second printing clearly stated on the copyright page. First issue dust jacket with "$4.95" price intact at top-front flap and "5/65" code at the bottom-right. <br /> <br /> A Near Fine copy the text block is clean square and seemingly unread throughout. The green topstain is lightly faded and the paper at the fore-edges of the boards show bits of abrasion. The dust jacket is Very Good gently sunned at the spine and showing light overall surface soiling and minor edgewear including a short split beginning at the top-front flap fold and tiny chips at the spine head and the top-right corner of the front panel. 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. 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.<br /> <br /> The second printing of The Orchard Keeper consisted of a small run of only 750 copies. It has been noted that surplus first-issue dust jackets were used for this printing; these were frequently price-clipped to accommodate the second printing’s increased $6.95 price. The present example is notably not price-clipped retaining the original $4.95 price.<br /> <br /> Set in a remote rural Tennessee community between the World Wars The Orchard Keeper is McCarthy’s debut novel inaugurating a cycle of four Southern Gothic works with Outer Dark Child of God and Suttree to follow. The narrative explores the forces of modern civilization as they encroach upon older more rugged ways of living. Upon its release the novel earned McCarthy immediate critical acclaim and comparisons to the likes of William Faulkner. Random House hardcover
196871258New York: Random House 1968. First edition first printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Signed by Cormac McCarthy in black ink on the half-title page.<br /> <br /> 242 pp. Octavo 21 cm. Publisher's turquoise cloth and grey paper-covered boards stamped in black silver blue. Publisher's black topstain. Black dust jacket with white green and orange typography designed by Muriel Nasser. First printing statement on the copyright page. Dust jacket is price-clipped and has the "9/68" code at the front flap’s bottom-right.<br /> <br /> A Near Fine unread copy clean and square. The black topstain is lightly faded. The price-clipped dust jacket is Very Good with just a tiny closed tear measuring less than 1cm at the bottom edge of the front panel and one very small dark stain on the spine. A nice copy. Signed by the notoriously reclusive author. From the library of the late Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter. 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.<br /> <br /> The first printing of Outer Dark consisted of a run of 5000 copies and was the only printing of the first edition of this work. The book was a commercial failure upon its release selling less than 3500 copies.<br /> <br /> Set in purgatorial turn-of-the-century Appalachia Outer Dark is McCarthy’s second novel distilling his Southern Gothic style which he would continue to explore in his two subsequent novels Child of God and Suttree. The narrative utilizes an archaic rhythmic prose to deliver a wandering tale—a harrowing meditation on nihilism. Its publication cemented McCarthy as a singular prophetic stylist distinguished from many of his more experimental postmodernist contemporaries through a mastery of the macabre and the mythic.
