Cormac McCarthy • Signed • Vintage Paperbacks • Suttree • Blood Meridian Etc.

Description: Cormac McCarty signed book set of his first 6 novels. The story behind them is pretty cool too. Cormac had wandered into a bookstore in Tucson Arizona called Coyote’s Voice Books. In her letter of provenance for all 6 volumes, the owner described him as a southern gentleman, and who purchased several books on “psychological conditions” (was he researching The Passenger/Stella Marris?) She was aware that he did not do book signings but nevertheless asked him if he would sign all of the books that they had in stock at the time. She said that he obliged her and signed all of the books he was presented with! Not only do I love these because it’s the first 6 books all signed (the toughest of the McCarthy novels to acquire signed) but the story gives you an alternate narrative to the one that is told most often about McCarthy; He hates to sign books. She describes his transportation on that day as an old light blue pickup truck and he was dressed like a Texan, wearing a leather bomber jacket and he was polite and rather shy. All but Suttree and All the Pretty Horses are first printings of the Vintage paperback editions (Suttree 8th, ATPH 4th). All are in Fine or Very Nearly Fine unread condition with simply the foxing to the pages due to age and cheap paper. No toning to the wrappers as commonly seen. .
