[Rarebooks] FS: Inscribed First Edition of Cormac McCarthy's first book

[Charles Agvent]

McCARTHY, Cormac THE ORCHARD KEEPER
Random House New York (1965) First Edition. McCarthy's scarce first 
book, INSCRIBED and SIGNED by him on the front endpaper "To Rinda 
Sliger/Cormac McCarthy." The recipient was apparently a typist or 
secretary for McCarthy at the time, but we have been unable to verify 
this information. The dustwrapper is complete and has minor and even 
darkening, hardly noticeable, with the red lettering on the spine faded 
but still clear. The joint of the front panel and front flap, often 
found separated completely due to a manufacturing defect, here is neatly 
split about two inches at the top but otherwise intact and not 
noticeable under the mylar. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper.  $7500
